5A state baseball tournament in Monticello

Well Badger fans, Coach Mark Crafton and his Beebe Badger baseball team are one win away from playing in their first state championship game as the Badgers will take on 5A Southeast foe in one semifinal on Monday evening. On Friday afternoon, in a game that was moved up because of graduation ceremonies for both Beebe and Greenbrier, the Badgers eeked out a 3-2 win over the 5A West Panthers. On Saturday, the Badger offense exploded as they defeated the #4 seed from the 5A East, Forrest City, 11-3. The 5A tournament has seen two #1 seeds going down in the 1st round, which included Magnolia, the team that Forrest City defeated in the 1st round. This is the first time EVER that a BHS baseball team has played in the state semifinals. It should be an exciting game. I will post an update as soon as I find out a score. I won't be broadcasting this game(See post on NEARSports), but I'll be following the Badger Express as they will hopefully play for a state championship next weekend. Go Badgers!!!!
