The plan this week is to wrap up the regular season for Class 5A and 6A, as the rest figure out state tournament bids in regionals, while every team is hoping and praying Mother Nature allows it all to happen.
There were not many major shockers in last week’s matchups, but Beebe did bump up three spots in Class 5A following a sweep of previously No. 2 Maumelle. Considering squads across all classifications will have state tournament seedings next week, this publication will be the last Super 7 until the final rankings are released following the conclusion of the state finals.
