Despite some teams playing an extra game, this week brought normalcy for the most part following two weeks of winter weather that was nothing short of madness. Other than some standard weekly movement, the Top 25 remained the same as everyone from last week held on to their spots. 

1. Conway (22-5)

A successful three-game stretch last week now leads to a crucial matchup with a hot No. 8 Central squad who has been the Lady Wampus Cats’ Achilles heel in recent memory.

2. North Little Rock (22-4)

Handled business with ease over Little Rock Southwest and Jonesboro. Three Power 25 matchups remain for the last bit of the regular season schedule.

3. Greenwood (23-2)

Have not been touched in past six contests winning by an average of 43 points per game, but a sneaky No.19 Siloam Springs comes to town on Tuesday a squad who took the Lady Bulldogs to the final buzzer on January 17.

4. Nashville (22-3)

Nothing new in Howard County, the Scrapperettes are still unscathed against 4A-7 competition and that likely will not change in the final week of the regular season.

5. Cabot (19-5)

Tough week for the Lady Panthers dropping both games to Top 10 competition, and they have fallen in three of their past four contests.

6. Farmington (27-1)

Continues to take no prisoners after tearing through the 4A-1 unscathed as the Lady Cardinals set their sights on the postseason.

7. West Memphis (22-3)

Have proven to be the team to be in the 5A-East and showed it again last week after getting past archrival Marion and a scrappy Nettleton squad.

8. Little Rock Central (15-9)

Been playing up to potential winning five of past six contests that includes victories over top-ranked Conway and Cabot. A Valentine’s Day rematch with top-ranked Conway on the road looms as the Lady Tigers hope to take them for the third-straight time.

9. Fort Smith Northside (21-4)

Started the week taking one of the chin to Har-Ber, but was able to bounce back winning two-straight. The Lady Bears have just one game this week, but it is big against No. 16 Rogers Heritage at home on Tuesday.

10. Bentonville (21-6)

Six-game win streak was snapped at the hands of a gritty Har-Ber squad, but this week looks favorable to bounce back before a crucial matchup at No. 9 Fort Smith Northside to close out the regular season on February 21.

11. Har-Ber (16-8)

Fell to Fayetteville in the middle of a three-game stretch, but notched two very important wins over Fort Smith Northside and Bentonville.

12. Benton (19-3)

Seems to have hit another gear with the end of the regular season inching closer as the Lady Panthers are hoping to finish 5A-South play unscathed.

13. Parkview (19-5)

The win streak is now up to 11, and the Lady Patriots have still not lost in 2023. Two road games loom before next week’s crucial contest with No. 15 Vilonia.

14. Morrilton (24-3)

Finished out the regular season unblemished in the 4A-4 and are on a 10-game win streak.

15. Vilonia (21-4)

Capped the week with a non-conference victory over Lake Hamilton to win fifth-straight contest. The Lady Eagles hold a very close lead in the 5A-Central with four regular season games left.

16. Rogers Heritage (18-7)

Broke a three-game losing streak defeating Fort Smith Southside, but there is no time to rest with No. 9 Fort Smith Northside and No. 11 Har-Ber up this week.

17. Bryant (15-8)

Won two of past three contests but faces the brutal three-game stretch again that includes No. 5 Cabot, No. 2 North Little Rock, and top-ranked Conway to cap the regular season.

18. Paragould (18-6)

Takes four-game win streak into a very important week that features home games against No. 20 Nettleton and No. 7 West Memphis.

19. Siloam Springs (16-8)

Have been one of the quieter successful squads in Class 5A and get another chance at No. 3 Greenwood on Tuesday after nearly taking them down a month ago.

20. Nettleton (18-5)

It was a tough week of learning lessons for the Lady Raiders who took two-straight losses on the chin and now face back-to-back road games.

21. Russellville (20-6)

Rebounded from a lopsided loss to No. 3 Greenwood with lopsided victories over Greenbrier and Alma.

22. Sylvan Hills (14-6)

Split games with victory Mount St. Mary followed by a loss to a trending up Little Rock Christian squad. After Beebe on Tuesday, the Lady Bears travel to No. 15 Vilonia in what should be an important matchup for the 5A-Central standings.

23. Springdale (14-11)

Coach Hunsucker and Co. have really had a solid turn around and have been hanging tough in 6A-West play winning three of their past four games.

24. Little Rock Christian (17-8)

Really needed to get on a run and that is what the Lady Warriors have done winning five of past six contests as an important home game with No. 13 Parkview looms.

25. Fayetteville (12-13)

Despite the losing record, the majority are to Power 25 competition and a victory over Har-Ber last week keeps them in the final spot.
