Riverbend Classic, Pepsi Showcase create a tough choice for fans
We posted a story here last week detailing the lineup for the annual Pepsi Showcase high school basketball event in Cape Girardeau, and there's word today that New Madrid County Central is putting the final touches on its Riverbend Classic for that same weekend.
Both eight-team events help kick off the season over the final weekend of November (the Pepsi Showcase is a one-day event, the Riverbend Classic a two-day event), and both typically provide strong early-season tests for some of the area's top teams.
At NMCC, athletic director Diane Fowler said today that the final schedule should be out next week, but she confirmed the teams that will be involved, including new entry Lincoln High School of Dallas, Texas, a team coached by former NMCC coach Leonard Bishop. Lincoln replaces Byhalia, Miss., in this year's event.
The other teams: Charleston, Memphis (Tenn.) Central, NMCC, Pine Bluff, Ark., Poplar Bluff, Scott County Central, and West Memphis, Ark.
At Cape Girardeau, participants are Notre Dame, Cape Girardeau Central, Vianney, Lafayette, Memphis White Station, Ballard Co. (Ky.) Memorial, Fulton City, Ky., and Nettleton, Ark.
For basketball fans, it's a tough choice Nov. 28: Will you be at the Show Me Center or NMCC?

Where is sikeston at on this weekend?
Maybe playing football in the dome, lol. Seriously though, they aren't scheduled for any games that weekend. They will open with Blytheville as they always have, except last year of course.

I hope Fowler sets up the right matchups. The best teams from out of state will be Memphis Central and Dallas Lincoln. These are the teams SCC should play, not Pine Bluff or West Memphis, neither of which are ever very good.
It's confirmed that Dallas Lincoln will play NMCC and Scott County Central over those days. The rest of the matchups are being finalized this week, and I'll get them posted asap.
I don't have any idea what Dallas Lincoln will have but they had one of the best teams I've ever seen years ago when they came to the Riverbend. Chris Bosh was on that team.
Jamie,
This is not the first time Lincoln HS from Dallas has played at the Riverbend Classic. I can remember several times that Lincoln played at the Riverbend when Chris Bosh was in high school. Probably the best high school player I've seen play.
Lincoln vs. SCC should be a good matchup, but why would they not pit SCC against Memphis Central instead of West Memphis? Central defeated SCC last year and you know SCC would like to get some payback. West Memphis is never very good.
West Memphis has won 6 state titles since 1980 so the comment they are never very good is quite wrong.
I was talking about the time they've been coming to the Riverbend. I've not seen a good West Memphis team. I'm not talking about what they did 20 and 30 years ago.
West Memphis won its last title in 2005.
i have not seen a good west Memphis team in all the years I have watched them at the Riverbend
The West Memphis team that had Jason Henry played Vashon to the buzzer at the riverbend and they were loaded.

I truly believe that we have reached the point where technology has become one with our world, and I am 99% certain that we have passed the point of no return in our relationship with technology.
I don't mean this in a bad way, of course! Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as technology further advances, the possibility of uploading our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality. It's a fantasy that I daydream about almost every day.
