Let’s dive right in!

🎙️ Team Leader. Syniah Coachman joined the Har-Ber girls basketball team this season, but it didn’t take long for her to become a part of the tight locker room, playing a role in the success the Lady Wildcats are seeing this season. She’s not only one of the best players in the 6A-West, but one of the best players in Arkansas. Continuing to move up the recruiting boards for the class of 2027, her list of college offers only continues to get longer.

🏆 Conference Champs. Springdale Har-Ber took down Fort Smith Northside with a 54-41 win to secure the 6A-West conference title. For the Lady Wildcats, junior Syniah Coachman scored 19 points, followed by junior Madisen Campbell with 14 and junior Gracie Davenport with a 11. Har-Ber's defense came in clutch, forcing seven turnovers in the first quarter to set the tone for the game.

⏰ Beat the Clock. The Springdale Bulldogs added another win to their record, taking down Bentonville, 49-47. Despite trailing heading into the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs were able to shut down the Tigers' offense, holding them scoreless until the 2:27 mark. The game was neck-and-neck, but senior Tavyn Bledsaw sealed the win at the line, ending the game with 10 points and nine rebounds.

✅ Wolverine Win. Bentonville West had a huge first half to maintain momentum and take down Rogers Heritage, 63-42. Senior Cooper Moore was responsible for 19 of the Wolverines points.

⛹️‍♀️ With Bentonville and Springdale tied at 51, Jensen Thrasher kept her composure and delivered when it matters most. The sophomore remained calm under pressure and hit the game winning layup to give Bentonville their seventh win in the 6A-West.

🏀 Bryant basketball continued their domination this week, taking down North Little Rock, 62-47, in head coach Michael Abrahamson’s 300th win with the Hornets. The game was tight the entire first half, but Bryant pulled away late in the game to secure their 10th conference win of the season. Senior Camarion Bead led the Hornets with 19 points, 12 rebounds, and eight assists. Senior RJ Young picked up nine points with 10 rebounds.
