Both Blackhawks teams in the state Top 10
The Blackhawk girls split games last week with Harrison and Gentry, but remained in the top ten girls teams in the latest polling while the boys rolled to their eight straight win to land in the top 10 at the 10th position.
The girls 4A-1 conference continues to impress with five of the top nine teams in the state hailing from our local district (Harrison, Farmington, Berryville, Pea Ridge, and Gravette). Those same five teams are also the
top five teams in the North Region Poll.
The Pea Ridge boys are undefeated in the 4A-1 and are the top ranked team in the North Region Poll. Morrilton at 13-5 and Dardanelle at 19-2 are right on the Hawks heels in the North Region Poll.
