Green Forest boys soccer coach Adam Richter saw some room for improvement from his team in a 2-2 tie against Haas Hall Bentonville on Monday, March 6, but he also saw some things he liked. “I feel good about last week,” Richter said.

First games can be learning experiences. That was certainly the case for the Berryville girls soccer team.

The Green Forest softball team lost a doubleheader to Flippin on Monday, March 6, by scores of 20-6 and 13-3. Bella Phillips and Brinley Bishop each had two hits for Green Forest in the first game, while Alyvia Newboles drove in two runs for the Lady Tigers.

Three Berryville High School seniors received some postseason accolades on Monday, capping off their high school basketball careers. Berryville coach Brent Compton said senior Jake Wilson earned all-state honors and also was named to the 4A-1 all-conference team along with classmates Nate Allen and D.J.

Based simply on the final score, the Berryville Bobcats’ 7-2 loss to Bentonville on Tuesday, March 7, might seem like a blowout. But Berryville coach Grant Hutson said the Bobcats didn’t play poorly after they shook off a slow start against a Class 6A opponent.

Anytime Mason Meador is on the pitching mound for the Green Forest Tigers, coach Brandon Stone feels pretty good about his team’s chances to win. “That’s our biggest strength,” Stone said.

First-year Green Forest boys soccer coach Adam Richter says he has “high hopes” for the Tigers this spring, with good reason. Green Forest is just two years removed from winning the Class 3A state championship.

Green Forest girls soccer coach Ashley Wilson said goodbye to eight seniors after the Lady Tigers lost in the semifinals of the Class 3A state tournament last May. This spring, Wilson said hello to seven freshmen.
