Malvern hosted an 8-team 7-on-7 tournament on Wednesday. Rain shortened the event and Catholic was declared the winner as the only undefeated team. Other teams included Arkadelphia, Glen Rose, Hot Springs, Malvern, Poyen, Sheridan, and Sylvan Hills.
Southwest Elite 7-on-7 Showcase
The state's largest 7-on-7 tournament begins on Friday with 32 teams from 10 different states. The Southwest Elite 7-on-7 Showcase starts at 9 am with teams from Alabama, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas as well as 11 teams from Arkansas. A schedule for the event can be found here. The teams will play 7 pool play games on Friday with a double-elimination tournament to begin on Saturday.
This event has quickly grown from 12 teams in 2009 to its current 32 team format. Arkansas teams have won 3 out of the 4 years. Each of the defending champions will be in the field:
2009 Shiloh Christian (Springdale, AR)
2010 Olive Branch (MS)
2011 Bentonville (AR)
2012 Fayetteville (AR)
We generally make pool predictions in these tournaments, but with our unfamiliarity with these out-of-state teams, we would be doing so out of ignorance. There are several quality teams with a chance to win the tournament and expect some Arkansas teams to be included in that group.
