<div class="MsoNormal">
With the exception of a few years last decade, Arkadelphia’s
athletic teams have traditionally competed in what is now considered class 5A
in the former 5A Southwest Conference with teams such as Hot Springs, Magnolia,
Hope, Lakeside as well as others.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During the most recent reclassification, Arkadelphia was
placed in the 4A-7 district (or conference) with current league foes Arkansas
Baptist, Ashdown, Bauxite, Central Arkansas Christian, Malvern, Nashville, and Pulaski
Robinson.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Along with the change in classification to 4A comes a change
in the way basketball, baseball and softball will qualify for their respective
State Tournaments. </div>
<a name='more'></a>Badger fans may remember the 5A State-Runner up team from a
few years ago or the 14-0 Badger boys’ basketball team from two seasons ago
that earned a state tourney bid by finishing in the top four of the 5A
Southwest. The Badger baseball team also made the State Tourney the same way
the last two years.<br /><br /><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
For teams in 5A, it’s a race to finish in the top 4 at the
end of the regular season and then advance to State Tourney play.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In class 4A and below, due to the fact that there are more
teams and districts in each classification, two districts are matched up to
form a region and the top four from each region advance to the state
tournament. Districts may choose their state qualifiers by using a District
Tournament or by using regular season standings.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Although, post-season basketball is at the forefront of the
collective minds of fans right now, this will be the same scenario for baseball
and softball when April rolls around.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For Arkadelphia and the rest of the teams in 4A-7, in order
to qualify for the State Tournament in these sports, they must be the “final
four” of two tournaments – the 4A-7 District Tournament (for basketball, that
takes place this week in Bauxite) and the 4A South Regional Tournament (basketball’s
will be Feb. 20-23 at OBU – hosted by Arkadelphia High School). <br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week’s District Tournament is composed of all 8 teams
in the league with the seeds determined by the finish in the regular season
double round-robin schedule. Monday, the 5<sup>th</sup>, 6<sup>th</sup> and 7<sup>th</sup>-seeded
teams play with winners advancing the face the 3<sup>rd</sup> and 4<sup>th</sup>-place
finishers on Tuesday. The semifinals will take place Thursday with the 1<sup>st</sup>
and 2<sup>nd</sup>-seeded teams playing their first game. The teams who make
the semifinals of the District Tournament advance to the Regional, but Saturday’s
championship games and consolation games will determine seeding to the
Regional.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

The Regional Tournament will feature the top four of the
4A-7 District Tournament matched up against the top four finishers from the
other District in the Region, the 4A-8. Schools that compose the 4A-8 include
Crossett, Dewitt, Dumas, Hamburg, Lake Village, Monticello, Star City and
Warren.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As is the case in the District Tournament, the top four
finishers in the Regional Tournament will advance to the 4A State Tournament
which will be Feb. 26 – March 2 at Cave City High School in Northeast Arkansas.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The 4A South Regional tournament will be hosted by AHS at
Ouachita Baptist University’s Bill Vining Arena. Athletic Director Chris Babb
is in the process of gathering volunteers and sponsors for the tournament to
help provide a good experience for those visitors who will be spending their time
in Arkadelphia over the four-day tournament.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

The Last week of the regular season for Arkadelphia
basketball is shaping up to be an exciting one as the 9<sup>th</sup> grade and
varsity Badger and Lady Badger programs are gearing up for post-season play.
The teams play their final regular season games this week and then turn their
attention toward their respective tournaments.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This week will see the final home games for the junior and
senior high teams, the undefeated CAC boys’ team which is ranked No. 6 in the
state in 4A in town on Tuesday, and Senior Night Festivities on Friday. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Below
is this week’s schedules for Arkadelphia basketball:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
MONDAY: 8<sup>th</sup> grade boys, 9<sup>th</sup> grade
girls, and 9<sup>th</sup> grade boys at HS Lakeside – 5:00 p.m.<br />
TUESDAY: AHS vs. Central Arkansas Christian at AHS<br />
THURSDAY: 8<sup>th</sup> grade boys, 9<sup>th</sup> grade girls, and 9<sup>th</sup>
grade boys vs. Magnolia – 5:00 p.m.<br />
FRIDAY: AHS Senior Night vs. Bauxite at AHS<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
VARSITY BADGERS AND LADY BADGERS</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Badgers currently sit in second place in the 7-4A
conference at 9-3, one game ahead of Arkansas Baptist which enters the final
week with a record of 8-4. Central Arkansas Christian has clinched the first
seed in next week’s District Tournament at Bauxite as the Mustangs will come to
AHS sporting a 12-0 record in league play and a No. 6 ranking in the state in
the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s Class 4A Super Six.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tuesday night will feature a couple of promotions from
Chicken Express of Arkadelphia in which fans can take part. Coupons for a free
32-ounce tea from Chicken Express will be passed out to the first 65 people who
sign up to enter the halftime contest for the evening. <br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
During halftime of the boys’ game against CAC, Chicken
Express is offering a $20 gift card to a lucky fan who can beat APSD Athletic
Director Chris Babb in a shooting contest. Names will be drawn from those who
purchase a ticket at the Chicken Express table located in the main entrance
hall leading into Badger Gymnasium.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When they face the Mustangs, the Badgers will be looking to
solidify the second seed in next week’s District Tournament at Bauxite. The District
Tournament and Regional Tournament format for selecting State Tournament
participants is different for Badgers fans who have been used to 5A play in the
past.<br /><br /><br />
The final four teams in the District Tournament will advance to the 4A South
Regional which will be hosted by Arkadelphia at Ouachita’s Bill Vining Arena
Feb. 20-23.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The second-place finish in regular season play is important
because the first and second seeds in the District Tournament automatically
qualify for the Regional Tournament without playing a game. However, the teams
will be playing for a 7-4A Championship and seeding in the Regional.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Badgers are one game ahead of Arkansas Baptist which
stands in third place right now at 8-4 with two games to play. The Badgers
would have an advantage in a tie-break as the Badgers swept Arkansas Baptist in
the two regular-season match-ups.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The task will be a tall one against CAC which defeated the
Badgers last month in North Little Rock, handing AHS its second conference loss
with a 54-34 decision. CAC has wrapped up the first seed and is playing for an
undefeated regular season conference record. Friday night on Senior Night, the
Badgers will play Bauxite which began the conference slate at 7-2 before
hitting a tough spot in the schedule.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Lady Badgers have a particularly tough task this week as
they will be facing two of the top three girls’ teams in the 7-4A in CAC and
Bauxite. The Lady Badgers will need to win two games in the District Tournament
to qualify for the 4A South Regional. As of now, the Lady Badgers would face
either Nashville or Arkansas Baptist in the first round with the winner facing
Ashdown for the right to qualify for the Regional Tournament. The Lady Badgers
have wins over both Nashville and Arkansas Baptist so far this season, so the
task – although tall – wouldn’t be impossible.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Senior Night activities will take place Friday night between
the girls’ and boys’ varsity games. AHS will recognize seniors from the Lady
Badger and Badger teams as well as spirit squad members who have done their
part in supporting AHS this season.<br /><br /><br />9th GRADE BADGERS AND LADY BADGERS</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The season is also winding down for Arkadelphia’s junior
high teams as Lakeside and Magnolia are the two final regular season opponents.
Monday’s game at Lakeside will be followed by the home finale Thursday night
against Magnolia.<br /><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The junior high conference tournament will begin Saturday,
February 9, at Magnolia High School with first-round games. The semifinals will
be played Monday, February 11, with the championship games taking place on
Thursday, February 14.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> <br /><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Admission to high school games is $5 for adults and $4 for
students and admission to junior high games is $4 for adults and $3 for students.</div>

<br />
The 2012-13 school year is upon us and with that so
begins the athletic schedule for Arkadelphia Public Schools. While the
AHS Lady Badger and Badger golf teams have already participated in
matches, including two at their
home course of Turtle Pointe Golf Club, this Tuesday, August 21, marks
the first opportunities for Badger and Lady Badger fans to see the
football and volleyball teams in action.

<div class="MsoNormal">
Arkadelphia High School will be a busy place
Tuesday evening as AHS volleyball hosts Hot Springs at 4:30 and
Arkadelphia’s junior and senior high football teams will host Prescott
in a scrimmage game beginning at 5:30.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Lady Badger volleyball program actually opens
their 2012 season on the road at El Dorado Monday afternoon, but the
Lady Badgers will play their home opener Tuesday when they face former
5A-Southwest conference foe Hot Springs at Badger
Gymnasium. <br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Lady Badgers and Lady Trojans will face off in three matches on Tuesday. The 9<sup>th</sup>
grade Lady Badgers will start things off at 4:30 followed by the junior
varsity teams and then the nightcap when Kim Williams’ Lady Badgers
will look to start the home portion of their season off with a win
against the Lady Trojans of HSHS. The matches will also mark the first
home matches for junior high head coach Jenny Coon, who joined the
Arkadelphia staff in the summer. Coon replaces Lawrence
Jefferson who left the district for a job with the Bryant Public School
District in May.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tickets for volleyball matches are $4 for adults and $3 for children and all students, including college students.
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The volleyball action begins at 4:30 and an hour
later the Arkadelphia football program will put its pre-season practice
to work with a junior high and senior high scrimmage against Prescott at
Arkadelphia’s Badger Stadium. The junior high
teams will begin at 5:30 while the Badgers and Curleywolves are set to
begin the high school scrimmage around 7:30.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The game is a benefit game for the Arkansas
Activities Association Catastrophic Insurance Fund and all tickets (for
students and adults) are priced at $4. The only passes that will be able
to be honored are Arkansas Activities Association
passes. All other attendees will be required to pay the $4 fee.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Since this is an AAA Benefit game, we can’t honor
any passes other than AAA passes,” said Arkadelphia Athletic Director
Chris Babb. “This includes season tickets, which will be on sale at the
game, or any other local passes. We hope that
our fans understand that most of the money from these benefit games
goes right back to the AAA and we don’t set the prices or the policies
regarding tickets for that night.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Arkadelphia football staff also will have some
new faces in new places for the 2012 season. Assistant coach Eric Allen
was tabbed as the head junior high football coach by Badger head coach
J. R. Eldridge in the spring and the AHS staff
welcomed Eli Cranor to the district for the 2012 season. Cranor joins
Eldridge in the AHS English Department and will serve as Offensive
Coordinator for the Badgers on Friday nights.
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“We’re excited about our coaching staff for the
2012-13 school year and we’ll be introducing our newest coaches to our
fans more as we go,” said Babb. “These men and women spend a lot of
hours investing their time and effort into the students
of our district and I appreciate all they do.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Tuesday night will be the first of many
opportunities for our fans to see the Badgers and Lady Badgers in action
this year, so we look forward to our community coming out to support
our boys and girls this year.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The APSD Athletic Department will also be hosting the annual “Meet the Badgers” event this Friday, August 24<sup>th</sup>, at Badger Stadium at 7:30 p.m. preceded by the 2<sup>nd</sup>
Annual BadgerFest sponsored by the Arkadelphia Badger
Booster Club. The booster club and athletic department will be sharing
more information about those events as the week progresses.</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<br />
<b>Parent Meetings Announced for Parents of APSD Student-Athletes<br />
</b>For more information, contact APSD Athletics at 870-246-7373, ext.
606 or babbc@apsd.k12.ar.us <br /><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><b>ARKADELPHIA</b> – The Arkadelphia
Public School Athletic Department has announced Thursday, July 19, and
Thursday, July 26, as the dates for pre-season informational meetings
for parents of APSD students who participate in athletics or on spirit
squads from grades 7-12. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br /><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">The Athletic Department is holding
the meetings on two separate nights to accommodate families who may
have already made plans that fall on one of the dates. The meetings
will begin at 6:00 p.m. each night and will be held in the Little Theater
at Arkadelphia High School. A third option will be scheduled around
the APSD open house dates for those who cannot make either date.</span><br /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">With two meetings scheduled, parents
of football and volleyball players are all asked to attend the first
meeting on July 19. The meeting will coincide with the kickoff of a
fundraiser that the members of the Badger football program will be conducting,
so information regarding that effort will be presented to football parents
after the meeting. Parents of student involved in other sports and spirit
squads are asked to attend the July 26<sup>th</sup> meeting, but attendees
can attend the other session if their schedule doesn’t allow.</span> <br /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“We don’t want people to not attend
a meeting just because their schedule didn’t allow them to come to
the meeting that is designated for their student’s sport,” said
Babb. “We have important information that we need to share with our
families, so we strongly encourage parents or guardians to attend.”</span> <br /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Information will be presented regarding
Heat Illness prevention, new guidelines adopted by the Arkansas Activities
Association regarding concussions, Arkadelphia’s newly adopted drug-testing
policy, as well as other details about the upcoming APSD school year.</span> <br /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“We look forward to these meetings
to get things started off for the 2012-23 school year,” said APSD
Athletic Director Chris Babb. “There are some new requirements both
locally and from the AAA that require parents to sign documents before
their student can participate, so these meeting are very important.”</span> <br /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">The meetings will also be a chance
for the district to address ways that parents and the school can work
together to help prevent injuries and heat illnesses as pre-season take
place in August, when temperatures are traditionally very high.</span> <br /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“Also, we really want to educate
parents about some of the things they can do to help their students
in the way of heat illness prevention,” Babb said. “Thanks to our
arrangement with HSU, we have Certified Athletic Trainers and interns
at our disposal during our practices and games so we have a system in
place to monitor our students and their health while they’re under
our watch. But at most, that’s only about four or five hours a day.
The other 19 or 20 hours when they are at home are just as vitally important,
so we want to help educate parents on how they can help.”</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Below are the dates and corresponding
sports asked to attend:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Thursday, July 19 – Football and
Volleyball 7-12<br />
Thursday, July 26 – Cross Country, Golf Tennis, Spirit Squads, winter
sports, spring sports.</span> <br /><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">If a student participates in football
or volleyball as well as one of the sports listed on July 26<sup>th</sup>,
they are asked to come to the July 19<sup>th</sup> meeting. There is
no need for parents to attend both meetings as the same information
will be presented.</span> <br /><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">“We really hope people will help
us spread the word to other parents they know,” said Babb. “It is
important for all of us to be on the same page when it comes to the
health and safety of our student-athletes.”</span><br />
