Enough Magic to Win? Not if the Cavs have their say…

They play for glory, they play for trophies, they play with passion, and last night they played with Magic… and they came out on top! The Cleveland Cavaliers, courtesy of LeBron James’ refusal to let the season end, won Game 5 of the Eastern finals and held Orlando’s lead at 3-2.

James carried them to the win and halted the Magic. Cav’s fans believe whole-heartedly that they will beat the Magic, become league champions and claim the coveted basketball trophy; the Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy. We soon shall see…

A hotspot for basketball? Basketball Trophies show Faulkner County is one

Faulkner County had some of the best basketball in the state this past season, and there are basketball trophies to prove that.

Eight teams reached the state tournament in their respective classifications, making this somewhat of a hotbed for high school basketball. Of those eight teams, five played for a state championship. In other words, four of the 14 total games at Hot Springs’ Summit Arena featured Faulkner County teams.

But what really made things special for the county was three teams captured a state title.

None of those newly crowned champions (Vilonia girls, St. Joseph boys and Guy-Perkins boys) received the first titles in their respective program’s history. Still, it was the first for the players involved.

Several others were close. Mount Vernon-Enola fell to arch-rival Guy-Perkins to finish as the state runner-up in a game that had to unfortunately have a winner and a loser; St. Joseph mounted a furious comeback in that finals that came up just short; Conway was one win away from playing for a boys championship for the second straight year.
