ABA fans can catch some great baseball on Monday as the State Tournament resumes.

Many of our ABA players will be in action as Bryant takes on Catholic in North Little Rock at 6:30; meanwhile Benton will take on Searcy, in a rematch of last years state title game, at 6:30 at Benton High School. In the 4:00 game at Benton, Sheridan will meet Lake Hamilton.

Many other ABA players will begin state tournament play as the 3A tournament gets underway after rain forced a delayed start in Harrison.

Good luck to those of you left and congratulations on a great year to those of you that ended your season too early.
