The Van Buren Pointers open the second half of the 6A-West round-robin schedule at home, hosting Rogers on Friday.

Greenwood and Alma start out the final half of the 5A-West schedule on the road Friday.

Greenwood travels to Little Rock Christian, and Alma hits the road to Vilonia.

It’s a trend that will be common for both Greenwood and Alma in the second half of the conference schedule.

Both face four road trips out of the final seven conference games.

Greenwood especially will be hitting Interstate-40 to the tune of four consecutive Friday night trips, first to Little Rock Christian, then to Vilonia, after that to Beebe and finally to Greenbrier in the regular-season finale.

Alma’s schedule is only slightly better.

The Airedales and Lady Airedales also face road trips to Vilonia, Little Rock Christian and Greenbrier on successive Friday nights to open February. They also go to Greenwood on the final Tuesday night of the season before wrapping up at home against Beebe.

Van Buren’s schedule is much nicer.


Van Buren plays four games at home, including three straight Friday nights in February.
