El Dorado has a new girls’ basketball coach but the same mission. The Lady Wildcats have enjoyed consecutive trips to the 5A State Tournament. New coach Makara Frazier will have to replace four starters off last year’s squad if she hopes to continue the trend.
As a sophomore, Smackover’s Taylor Darden lost a tough first-round match in the first round of the 3A State Tennis Tournament. She fell in three sets (5-7, 6-2, 7-5) to a player who would advance to the state semifinals.
Darden will return to the state tournament on Monday with confidence gained from last year’s experience.
Girls’ basketball hasn’t been the most successful program at Smackover in recent years. New coach Jon Pigott and the Lady Bucks have been working this summer to change that. Smackover has been to Lafayette County summer dates four times and to Genoa Central once, playing a total of 15 games this summer.
