Maumelle Charter boys are back in action tonight with a game at Episcopal, then a pair of games on Friday as they host Perryville.

Maumelle travels to Sherwood on Friday to face Sylvan Hills, then hosts Little Rock Parkview next Tuesday.

North Little Rock travels to Conway on Friday for a pair of huge 6A-Central games. The game of the week is on the girls side as North Little Rock enters 16-2, while Conway is 14-2. Neither has lost to an in-state team as the combined four losses were to teams in Texas and Missouri.

The ‘Cats are the defending state champs while the other Cats, of the Wampus variety, are, obviously, rolling.
