ROGERS -- There will a new state champion crowned in Class 6A boys basketball this season, and Max Vollmer had a lot to do with it. The 6-3 senior, listed as a guard on Fayetteville's roster, played his biggest role in the fourth quarter and led the Bulldogs to a 59-50 victory over two-time defending champion North Little Rock during Wednesday's opening-round action in Mountie Arena. Vollmer scored nine of his 11 points in the fourth quarter and allowed Fayetteville (21-9) to turn a six-point lead into a 54-42 cushion at the midway point. "I grew quick, so I've played inside all my life," Vollmer said. "I didn't keep growing, so I'm a little big man. But I'm still a big man at heart. I just kept playing hard, and my teammates kept giving me the ball." The Bulldogs never trailed after breaking a 15-15 tie to start the second quarter as Jadyn Haney scored inside, followed by Ornette Gaines' three-pointer and a three-point play by Xavier Brown for a 23-15 lead. Fayetteville enjoyed a 31-26 halftime cushion, but North Little Rock (17-10) pulled within one on two occasions in the third quarter before the Bulldogs took a 45-37 lead into the final 8 minutes. Braylon Frazier's bucket pulled the Charging Wildcats within six before Vollmer went to work. His three-point play gave Fayetteville its first double-digit lead, 50-39, with 6:41 remaining, and he scored twiee more before Quenci Bradford's three-point play made 57-42 with 2:21 remaining. "I don't know if Max Vollmer is on anybody else's scouting report," Fayetteville Coach Brad Stamps said. "But he's dang sure on ours. You just can't match his level of intensity. "He's a senior, so he's got some urgency -- that refuse-to-lose mentality that you're looking for. All seniors you'll see this week will put out great effort because it's their last time, but I'm proud of him. I thought he was tremendous." Gaines had two clutch three-pointers after North Little Rock made it a one-point game in the third quarter and finished with 15 to lead Fayetteville, which advances to a 5:30 p.m. quarterfinal game Friday against Bentonville West. Vollmer and Bradford added 11 apiece. Blake Segars scored all 11 of his points in the first quarter and was the only Charging Wildcat in double figures....

The Bryant Hornets carried the comeback theme to a fourth consecutive state championship Saturday night at War Memorial Stadium. The Hornets, who overcame a 29-17 deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Conway 32-29 for the 7A Central championship and a 10-0 deficit to beat North Little Rock 28-13 in the 7A semifinals, overcame a 38-35 deficit with 4:07 left to beat Fayetteville 42-38 for their fourth title in a row in front of a crowd of 8,571. “That’s why they put 48 minutes on the clock for a reason,” said Bryant coach Buck James. “We played all the way to the end and that is a way of life of doing things as a Bryant Hornet. “I really don’t know what to say. Four in a row is unbelievable. We didn’t play well for a while, but Fayetteville had a lot to do with that. This game could have gone either way, but our kids found a way to win.” Carson Burnett completed a 36-yard pass to Mytorian Singleton, who had 6 catches for 115 yards, with 1:53 left to put the Hornets ahead for good after Stephen Fuller made the extra point. The touchdown capped off a 6-play, 80-yard drive in which they converted a fourth-and-three with Burnett throwing 27 yards to Singleton to move the ball to the Fayetteville 41. Singleton caught the ball over the middle, bounced off a couple tacklers and got down the left sideline. “Carson’s a winner,” James said of his quarterback, who completed 12-of-20 passes for 197 yards with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. “Coach (Kirk) Bock has done a great job working with him. He’s like a fullback, linebacker playing quarterback.” The Hornets defense helped seal the victory three plays later when Ivory Gilmore hit Fayetteville quarterback Bladen Fike and Will Diggins, who is a regular starter on the offensive line and was playing both ways, recovered the ball with 1:15 left. After running three plays to run the clock down 17 seconds, Burnett punted the ball away. Fike, who completed 21-of-46 passes for 473 yards with 4 touchdowns and 3 interceptions, completed a pass for 28 yards to Hayes Robinson and then tossed a Hail Mary to the end zone which was batted away at the goal line as time expired to secure the victory. Fayetteville took its only lead of the game with 4:07 left when Fike scored from two yards out and threw to Isaiah Sategna for the two-point conversion. The score came after completions of 22 yards to Christian Setzer and 41 yards to Jaison DeLamar got the ball down to the 2-yard line. “Bladen had a slow start tonight, but settled in,” Fayetteville coach Casey Dick said. “I know this was new to a lot of our kids and Bryant has been here four years in a row and used to this stage. “I think our kids played hard, but came up short. Hats off to Bryant. I couldn’t be more proud of our kids in the effort they showed tonight.” The game featured momentum swings with seven turnovers. [Bryant and 2 and Fayetteville had 5.] Bryant scored touchdowns off an interception and a blocked field goal. The Hornets defense had five sacks with Jaylon Brown collecting two. The Hornets won the game despite being outgained 558-432 and holding the ball for 15 fewer plays (60-75). “Momentum swings happen in big games like this,” Dick said. The Hornets took a 7-0 lead at the 4:41 mark of the first quarter when Chris Gannaway, who rushed for 197 yards on 20 carries, scored from 16 yards out and Fuller added the extra point. One play later, with Drake Fowler standing in the middle of the field, he intercepted Fike and ran it back 27 yards to the left side of the field 12 seconds later. Fuller added the extra point to make it 14-0. Three plays after a Fayetteville punt, Jayson Johnson pressured Burnett and Brooks Yurachek intercepted the pass at the Hornets 47 at the 1:53 mark of the first quarter. One play later, Fike found Sategna, who had eight passes for 168 yards down the left side of the field for a 47-yard touchdown pass. A bad snap on the extra point prevented Nathan Katchel from attempting the kick and the Hornets maintained a 7-6 lead. After a Bryant punt, Fayetteville kept the ball for eight plays before Fike, who was under pressure, was intercepted by Jonah Brewster in the right corner of the end zone at the 8:49 mark of the second quarter After a Bryant punt, Fayetteville closed to 14-13 when Fike found Jalen Blackburn, who had 5 catches for 124 yards and 2 touchdowns, down the right side for a 23-yard touchdown pass. Katchel’s kick was good, keeping the Hornets up 14-13. Four plays later, Kaiden Turner intercepted Burnett, who returned the ball 21 yards to the Bryant 37. After consecutive sacks by Gilmore and Brown, Fike threw 12 yards to Sategna and 20 yards to Blackburn, getting the ball to the Bryant 19.

The Hornets took advantage as Gannaway ran 84 yards to the Fayetteville 7 on the next play.

Fayetteville’s last scoring drive was set up when Burnett threw incomplete to Singleton on fourth-and-seven from the Bulldogs’ 34 at the 7:45 mark. “Four in a row,” James said. “Not many people have a chance to do that. When I first came here, we hadn’t been to the semifinals. I am blessed because I have great coaches and great players and have a lot of kids who are resilient and come in at 5 a.m. and lift weights. They work extremely hard and pay a big price.”...
