Now that Arkansas five-star basketball signee and North Little Rock star Nick Smith and his team have finished a talent-laden national non-conference slate, they can turn their attention to Class 6A Central action.
The Charging Wildcats (11-3) will do so Tuesday night when they travel to face Little Rock Central (7-5) in a battle of the last two Class 6A state champions and last season’s title game combatants.
It is a matchup featuring Smith (6-5, 180), Oregon signee and fellow 5-star prospect Kel’el Ware (7-0, 220) and Central sophomore star Annor Boateng (6-5, 205), a 2024 Razorback recruiting target.
