Beebe and Sylvan Hills are in two different regular-season conferences, but the same postseason conference, which means their nonconference matchup Tuesday at Badger Arena would have an impact on postseason seedings.
It was supposed to be a matchup of two of the top teams, but it was all Beebe as the Lady Badgers won 56-43.
“It wasn’t a particularly entertaining performance by either team. Sylvan Hills shot the ball horribly and Beebe committed 27 turnovers. There were also lots of fouls and free throws stifling the action, but Beebe coach Greg Richey will take the win.
“Defensively, I thought we did a good job the whole game,” said Richey. “We gave up a few too many offensive rebounds in the second half, but overall I was pleased with the defense. Offensively, we moved the ball really well early and created open shots, but we got a little sloppy in the second half. We definitely have to work on taking better care of the basketball.”
Sylvan Hills had some open shots in the first half as well, but were dismal from the floor the entire game. The Lady Bears finished the game hitting 11 of 52 shot attempts (21 percent).
That included missing their first nine in a row while Beebe built a 10-2 lead with two minutes left in the first quarter. Sylvan Hills added four free throws from that point to pull within four, but then left Jacolby Williams unguarded at the buzzer, and she nailed a 3-pointer for a 13-6 lead going into the second.
It was Beebe’s first game with everyone on the roster, but they weren’t all full strength and they didn’t all play very long. Libbie Hill, the team’s leading scorer from last year, started for the first time, but got in early foul trouble and played only a few total minutes before fouling out.
She got her third foul less than three minutes into the second quarter, but Beebe began to dominate anyway. Senior Katie Turner made some outstanding moves inside to either score or create wide open shots for fellow post player Hannah Gammill. Those two combined for 10 points in the second period alone, while junior guard Marianna Richey added seven more, including a 3-pointer with 2:04 on the clock that put Beebe up 26-9.
Both teams scored six points before halftime to make it 32-15 at the break.
Williams scored the first basket of the second half to make it a 19-point lead, and it grew to as much as 22 before the Lady Bears began to chip away.
Beebe (3-1) led 47-26 at the start of the fourth quarter, but Turner picked up her fourth and fifth fouls in a one-minute span in the fourth quarter, and Sylvan Hills began to chip away.
Sylvan Hills (2-2) had a chance to get within single digits after Beebe missed two free throws with 2:20 to play, but the Lady Bears lost the ball out of bounds, preserving a 51-40 lead.
After a 1-of-2 trip to the line by Beebe, Sylvan Hills’ Alana Canady scored to make it 52-42 with 1:42 to play, but that was as close as the Lady Bears would get.
Turner led all scorers with 14 points and was one of three players with seven rebounds, despite fouling out so early. Gammill finished with 12 points and seven rebounds. Richey added 12 points and Williams scored 10 for Beebe. Hill scored seven in her limited action and added five assists.
Jayla Bell led the Lady Bears with 11 points and seven boards. Aaliyah Bynum came off the bench to drop in 10 for Sylvan Hills. Beebe held Canady, a Division I signee, to just six points one 1 of 13 shooting, and three rebounds.
“We were focusing on her, of course,” Richey said. “We wanted to make it difficult for her and I think we frustrated her a little bit because she also missed some open ones that helped us out a lot. Like I said, I think we did a pretty good job defensively.”

SPORTS STORY>>Postless Titans fall to speedy Pine Bluff
By RAY BENTON
Leader sports editor
In a game that required strong inside play to have any chance, Jacksonville was without both its starting post players, and still almost pulled off an upset. Ultimately, the Pine Bluff Zebras were able to escape with a 54-48 victory over the Titans on Tuesday at PBHS.
The Titans are also still without their head coach, Vic Joyner, who had an unscheduled surgery last Monday. Assistant coach Brandon Weems has taken over in the interim, and devised a strategy to beat the streaking Zebras that almost worked.
“I saw when they beat Conway that everything goes through their big man,” said Weems. “They want a lot of paint touches and everything usually goes through him. So we decided to play some zone and try to limit his touches.”
Without his two returning starters inside, Weems turned to a pair of freshmen, cousins R.J. and Jordan Maxwell to play the four and five spots respectively. He was very pleased with their effort.
“We asked two freshmen to step up and play strong defense against a big strong guy,” Weems said. “They did that. I was very proud of their effort, especially Jordan who had to battle him down low. Those two impressed me. We know they can play. That’s why they’re up on varsity. R.J. is going to be a scorer. Jordan can score. To step up and play defense like that showed a lot more.”
Jacksonville built a 10-point lead in the first quarter, and maintained about that margin until just before halftime. That’s when Pine Bluff got hot from outside and made it an even game the rest of the way.
“They’re not a great shooting team, but they can get hot and you expect them to shoot better at home,” Weems said.
Pine Bluff led by two with about 90 seconds remaining, and Weems switched to a man defense to keep the Zebras from running out the clock.
The Titans couldn’t get a game-tying bucket to fall, and was forced to foul. Pine Bluff made the free throws down the stretch to pull out the victory.
The loss drops Jacksonville to 1-3 this season, but Weems was still pleased with what he saw as a lot of progress from the first three games.
“I told them I’d rather have the effort that lost this one over the one that beat Monticello by 20,” Weems said.
Jacksonville has nine-consecutive days off before beginning play in the Fayetteville tournament next Thursday. The layoff comes at just the right time, according to Weems.
“Well Joe (Phillips) still has his foot issue and we lost Mike (Terry) in practice. He hurt his knee so we’re waiting to see exactly what his injury is. I don’t usually like these long stretches but it kind of works out for us this time.”
The Titans open play at Fayetteville on Thursday against the hosting Bulldogs.

SPORTS STORY>>Beebe holds back Hillside
By RAY BENTON
Leader sports editor
A 17-point lead slipped away, but victory did not for the Beebe boys’ basketball team. The Badgers kept their composure in the face of a furious comeback to beat Sylvan Hills 46-42 for their first victory of the season Tuesday at Badger Arena.
Free throws were the only thing that kept Sylvan Hills within striking distance throughout the first half. The Bears started two freshmen, and the Beebe defense harassed them heavily. But that aggression also caused the fouls to pile up quickly. Sylvan Hills was in the bonus with 1:43 still left in the first quarter, and made their free throws.
The Bears didn’t make a shot from the floor until Demetrius Torrence’s 3-pointer with 2:58 left in the first quarter, and it tied the game at 9-9.
Beebe led 13-11 at the end of the first quarter, and then clamped down even tighter on defense. The Badgers opened the second period with a 13-0 run and didn’t allow the Bears to score again until less than three minutes to go in the half.
Sylvan Hills had only one basket until freshman point guard Caleb Campbell scored with 1:10 left in the half to make the score 27-15, and that was the second and last basket of the half for the Bears.
Sylvan Hills went 2 for 20 from the floor in the first half. Beebe added a 3-pointer by Lance Grey to take a 30-15 lead into the locker room.
The Bears got it to start the third period, but missed. Beebe’s D’Andre Butler and E.J. Smith beat everybody to the other end of the floor, and Smith took a Butler pass to give Beebe its largest lead of the game at 32-15.
That’s where everything changed.
The whole game reversed at that point. Sylvan Hills, which had played zone most of the game, made the unorthodox move for a team down by 17, and packed the zone in even tighter.
Beebe tried to take advantage by holding the ball, and the Bears seemed content to let it happen, much to the chagrin of some vocal fans on the visitors’ side. But Bear coach Kevin Davis had a plan, and it got his team back into the game.
After a long stretch of no action, the Bears attacked with matchups and traps out of the zone, and Beebe did not handle it well. That sparked a Sylvan Hills run coupled with a long scoreless drought for Beebe.
Smith’s bucket 30 seconds into the third quarter was Beebe’s only points of that period. Sylvan Hills finally started making some shots, and were within 32-27 by the start of the fourth quarter.
The run didn’t stop there. Campbell got a steal to start the fourth quarter and made 1 of 2 free throws. Zion Butler then got a steal and passed to Jordan Rainey for a 16-foot jumper from the baseline. That forced a timeout by Beebe coach Ryan Marshall, but out of the break, the Badgers couldn’t get across the half-court line before 10 seconds.
Campbell was fouled again on the ensuing possession, but missed the front end of a 1-and-1 trip to the line. The Badgers finally broke a nearly 10-minute drought when Beebe’s D’Andre Butler scored and was fouled with 5:49 left in the game. His free throw put Beebe up 35-30.
Foul trouble then began to catch up to Sylvan Hills. The team’s only two seniors and only two players with any varsity experience from a year ago, Zion Butler and post player Alex Curry, both fouled out within 47 seconds of each other, and both with more than half of the fourth quarter left to play.
But Rainey made a 3-pointer that pulled Sylvan Hills to within 35-34 with 4:28 left. D’Andre Butler then made 1 of 2 with 3:18 to go to make it 36-34.
Campbell followed by missing the front end of another 1-and-1 with 2:48 to play, and suddenly the game became a blistering-paced, back-and-forth affair.
Grey hit a transition bucket and Campbell answered back immediately. Jarron Harriott then got a steal and scored before D’Andre Butler and Smith hooked up again. Sylvan Hills freshman Jalen Ricks answered that basket and when the dust settled, the score was 40-40 with 2:01 to go.
After a series of misses by both teams, Campbell made two free throws to give the Bears their first lead of the game with 1:11 left, but they were Sylvan Hills’ final points.
Smith made one foul shot before the Bears were called for over and back at midcourt. Trey Williams then hit two free throws for a 43-42 Badger lead.
Ricks then missed a running floater and Grey got the rebound. Butler went back to the line to make 1 of 2 before Smith forced Campbell into a turnover with 21 seconds to go. Williams went back to the line with 13 tics remaining and made both shots to set the final margin.
D’Andre Butler was the only player in double digits with 22 points. Smith finished with seven points and seven rebounds for Beebe. Ricks and Curry each had eight points for Sylvan Hills. Campbell scored seven while Zion Butler had six points and a game-high eight rebounds.
Beebe played in the Potts-ville tournament this weekend while Sylvan Hills took part in the Trojan ESPN Showcase in Hot Springs. Look for information on both of those events in Wednesday’s edition of The Leader.
