7A/6A Standings, Scenarios (Feb. 22 edition)
After six weeks of good weather, Jack Frost decided to mess with Arkansas prep basketball last week and if Sunday's snow sticks, he can affect makeup games on Monday. Hopefully, we can get all games in this week to finish the regular season.
Most tournament spots have been secured, but what seeds the teams will be are still in some doubt. The picture should be a little clearer after Tuesday.
Standings and scores for all four 7A/6A conferences are here.

1975 Fayetteville State Champs To Be Honored
In the 1975 Arkansas high school basketball season, Fayetteville cut down the nets for what was then the Class AAA state championship. While it was wasn't the school's first state title - as the Purple Bulldogs had previously won a championship way back in 1948 - this team was in many ways the trendsetter for what would become a tradition-rich program for years to come.
Joe Kretschmar, the Arkansas High School Hall of Fame coach who passed away at the age of 75 in 2009. took over as head coach at Fayetteville in 1966 and had already established the Bulldogs as a consistent … Continue Reading ››

Star City girls win 100th straight conference game
The Star City girls' basketball team beat Monticello 70-30 Tuesday night to clinch the 4A-8 conference championship.
The win was also the Lady Bulldogs' 100th consecutive conference win.
Star City's last conference loss came more than seven years ago, when it lost to Dumas on Jan. 11, 2008.
