Class 3A State Tournament Day 4 Evening Session Results; Lady Tigers Seniors to Play Final Home Game Today at 12 p.m.

The fourth day of the Class 3A state basketball tournament in Charleston concluded last night. Today, the tournament comes to an end as two boys teams and two girls teams will punch their tickets to Hot Springs for the state championship finals. Today’s semifinals will be kicked off with the tournament host team, the Charleston Lady Tigers playing the Mountain View Lady Jackets for one of the girls final spots next week.

The Charleston seniors will run out on their home court this afternoon for the final time. It will be the final home game of their high school careers. And the stakes could not be more important than they are today. It could be any senior’s dream to take the floor at home for a chance to go to the state finals. That is the opportunity they have today. It should be a very emotional Lady Tigers team that will play today with everything they have in their final game at Tiger Center for the right to play for the state championship.

But first, here are the results of last night’s evening session quarterfinals games:

BOYS BRACKET

Mayflower defeated Monticello Drew Central, 62-50

GIRLS BRACKET

Mayflower defeated Rose Bud, 53-46

The semifinals will begin today at 12 p.m. when Charleston plays Mountain View. It should be a big crowd to start the day, and Charleston fans will want to get to Tiger Center early to get their seats for this one!

The schedule for Saturday’s semifinals is:

GIRLS BRACKET

Charleston vs. Mountain View, 12 p.m.

Valley Springs vs. Mayflower, 6 p.m.

BOYS BRACKET

Rivercrest vs. Dumas, 1:30 p.m.

Osceola vs. Mayflower, 7:30 p.m.

It has been an exciting week in Charleston as the best boys and girls in Class 3A high school basketball have put on quite a show. In the end, it will be just four teams that will continue on for another week of basketball, and one final game on Friday the 13th. Today should be an exciting ending chapter to what has been a very successful state tournament.

And for the Lady Tigers seniors, today’s last game at Tiger Center will be one that they will never forget.

The Jungle Rocks Again as Charleston Defeats the Lady Mustangs 55-54 in State Quarterfinal

The Jungle Rocks Again as Charleston Defeats the Lady Mustangs 55-54 in State Quarterfinal

The Charleston community turned out in large numbers again to cheer their beloved Lady Tigers to a 55-54 quarterfinal win over Central Arkansas Christian. The win propels Charleston into the state semifinals on Saturday where they will have a rematch with Mountain View at 12 Noon for a trip to the finals in Hot Springs.

Charleston lost to Mountain View in the Waldron Regional last week. In perhaps the worst shooting night of their season, Mountain View defeated the Lady Tigers soundly. The regional loss throws gasoline on the fire of what already should be a titanic match-up of two of the best teams in the state. Add to the match-up what will be at stake for both teams, and you have the potential for an epic state playoff game.

Mountain View defeated Hoxie 60-41 on Thursday night to advance to the semifinals against Charleston. The Lady Jackets, according to Max Preps, are 26-5 overall and finished the regular season 11-1 in conference play. They are ranked as the number one team in Arkansas in Class 3A. Charleston is ranked 4th in Class 3A.

Last week’s match with Charleston and Mountain View was almost an exception; a game that was not typical of Charleston and cannot be used as a comparison to tomorrow’s game. Again, playing at home in front of their home fans, Charleston should play much better than thy did last week. I their first two state tournament games, the Lady Tigers has shot the ball better and have had good energy on both the offensive and defensive ends.

In other quarterfinal action today, the Dumas Bobcats defeated the Gosnell Pirates in the boys bracket by the score of 58-50. Dumas advances to the state semifinal tomorrow against Rivercrest at 1:30 p.m.

The remaining schedule for today’s quarterfinal games is:

GIRLS BRACKET

Lamar vs. Valley Springs, 4 p.m.

Rose Bud vs. Mayflower, 7 p.m.

BOYS BRACKET

Valley Springs vs Osceola, 5:30 p.m.

Monticello Drew Central vs. Mayflower, 8:30 p.m.

Tomorrow’s semifinal games schedule is:

GIRLS BRACKET

Charleston vs. Mountain View, 12 p.m.

Second Semifinal Game (teams determined today), 6 p.m.

BOYS BRACKET

Rivercrest vs. Dumas, 1:30 p.m.

Second Semifinal Game (teams determined today), 7:30 p.m.

Winners of semifinals advance to championship final at Bank OZK Arena in Hot Spring on March 13. The Class 3A girls final will be played at 12 Noon, and the Class 3A boys final will be played at 1:45 p.m.

For Charleston, today’s win is over, and the Lady Tigers will shift their focus to rest, rehydration, and mental preparation for one last push tomorrow against Mountain View. In a little less than 24 hours, the Lady Tigers have to be ready to play the game of their lives against a very good Mountain View team. And the same holds true for the Charleston fans. Get ready to show up tomorrow and fill Tiger Center for your Lady Tigers. Raise the roof tomorrow, and cheer the Lady Tigers on to Hot Springs!

Waldron Upward Basketball Finishes 12th Season

Another successful season of Upward Basketball will come to a close this Saturday, March 7 starting at 1 p.m. in the Waldron Nazarene Church gym. Fifty six participants ranging from pre-K through sixth grade will gather to play their final games of the season.

According to league director Harold Riedel, who oversees the program with the help of his wife Evelyn and their daughter Geneva, “this is our 12th season of Upward, and it’s been one of the best groups ever. We’ve had great coaches and the kids have played really well.”

The unique part of Upward, whose mission statement is “to serve Jesus Christ through sports,” is the devotions that take place during halftime of every game and practice session. Topics include self-control, commitment, joy, and there is an entire devotion on John 3:16.

The program is non-denominational, and is hosted by hundreds of different churches across the country. The Waldron program has had more than 700 participants since starting in 2008. Many kids have started at age four and progressed through the entire program. Harold Ridel stated, “it’s very interesting to watch them start out and improve each year they play. Many Upward players progress into school ball and have done very well. Upward is a great introduction to the game, as they learn while they play. We hope everyone will come out this Saturday to support the kids and enjoy the games.”

There is no charge to enter the gym, and there is a concession stand stocked with soft drinks, burgers, hot dogs, and candy. More information on the program is available on their Facebook page, Waldron Arkansas Upward Basketball.

Reverend Wally Beckman is the Pastor at the Waldron First Church of the Nazarene.

Lady Bulldogs Primed For Ashdown

The annual Ashdown Softball Tournament is about to be underway. With games starting tonight, the Waldron Lady Bulldogs will compete with 11 other schools for the grand championship title. The Lady Bulldogs will go into tournament play with a 1-1 record with their win coming from Dardanelle and their loss stemming from Booneville. To start things off, Waldron will face Liberty-Eylau on Friday at 7 p.m. The Liberty Independent School District is located in Texarkana where the Lady Leopards currently hold a season record of 0-3-1.

“We haven’t played Liberty before and I know very little about them,” explained coach, Bailey Moore. “My focus for the Ashdown Tournament is to lock down a lineup. We have been very up in the air trying to match our offensive strengths to our defensive strengths. Every year, we use this tournament to experiment with our lineup. Moving our batters round, locking in a defense. This helps us prepare for our conference play by allowing us to see different competition. As players, the girls get lots of extra reps and as coaches, we get to see several different options at a lineup. It’s always very beneficial to us!”

Tigers And Bulldogs Plan To Knock Baseball Tournament Out Of Park

The 1st Annual Leopard Invitational Tournament being held in DeQueen is currently underway. The Mansfield Tigers and the Waldron Bulldogs are part of eight teams showing off their baseball skills in the three-day tournament. The Bulldogs competed in the first round on Thursday night against Horatio. “The game didn’t go in our favor with a 9-1 final score,” explained coach, Mark Brigance. “We had some help on offense in the first inning capitalizing on two walks and two hit batters. That plated Braden Williams for us off Patrick Poor’s hit by the pitch.”

“Jayden McConnell pitched 2 and 1/3 innings. He did everything we asked of him and didn’t walk anybody. Payton Brown didn’t allow a passed ball and Caden Fuller pitched the remaining 1 and 2/3 shortened ballgame. Due to tournaments rules, the game lasted 4 and 1/2 innings because of an eight-run rule sportsmanship. Horatio is a solid team and you have to give them credit for playing really good small ball.”  The Bulldogs will play again on Friday night at 7:30 against Foreman.

The Tigers will start tournament play today at 3:30 against Lincoln. This season, Mansfield holds a young roster whose pitching is “already showing a lot of promise but we have got to get our bats going,” stated coach, Tim Cothran. The Tigers sit 0-1 after a loss to Mena but are putting in the work daily in preparation for the 2019-2020 season. After today’s game, the Tigers will go on to face either Broken Bow or Genoa Central. “We could play multiple games Saturday. If we lose the first two games we are done but as long as we are winning, we are playing up to the finals.”
