This and That

The Springdale Lady Bulldogs basketball team, runners up in this year's Neosho Holiday Tournament, qualified for the state tournament. The Lady Bulldogs enter the Class 7A Tournament as the No. 5 seed out of the West.
The clincher was a 36-32 win over Springdale Har-Ber, where Tiffany Wiseley, an all-tournament selection at the Holiday Tournament, scored 17 points.

The Fayetteville Lady Bulldogs basketball team is the No. 1 seed in the Class 7A Tournament with a perfect 29-0 record. Fayetteville defeated both Seneca and McDonald County this year.

Morrilton girls finished 7-21 overall and only 1-13 in conference play. The Morrilton boys were 19-7 the last time I checked.

Speaking of Springdale, its boys basketball coach Bill Taylor has to pay $315 for a door he damaged at a game in Fort Smith this year. The Morning News asked Taylor about it he said "not newsworthy" and "not relevant to your paper."
The article went on to say Springdale Athletic Director Annette Scogins said the school district will not pay for the vandalism.
I remember Taylor a little bit from last year's Neosho Holiday Tournament, where he was counting how many times San Diego was dunking in pregame warm ups and wanted about 30 technical fouls called on the team.

And finally, I saw Lawrence Phillips name in the paper. The former Nebraska and St. Louis Ram running back is currently serving 10 years in prison for assault with a deadly weapon. He was in the news because he wanted to appeal a contest plea on another assault charge.
