🏐 **Tournament Recap!** 🏐
Our Jr. V Ladycats showed heart and determination at this weekend's Jr. Lady Eagle Invitational Volleyball Tournament in Paris! 🥉 After finishing 3rd in their pool, including impressive wins over Bauxite and Paris JV, they swept through the Silver Bracket 🏆, defeating Paris JV again and Ozark for the championship! 💪🔥
Our Jr. JV team also took the court, battling against Trinity Christian, Paris, and Ozark. Though they faced a tough first-round loss to Ozark in Silver Bracket play, they grew stronger as the day went on. So proud of both teams! Keep grinding, Ladycats! 🐾

Twelve of our Mena High School AE students reached their goals this week by being respectful, staying on task, and turning in all assignments. To celebrate, they enjoyed an hour of Yoga with Ms. Claire Williamson from the Extension Office, where they learned to calm their nervous systems and practice deep mindfulness.
We also want to give a special shout-out to two students who went above and beyond their weekly goals and are making great strides toward their quarterly targets! Eva Hart and Audrina Dominquez have shown incredible achievement, motivation, and kindness.

Mena Coaches have selected #24, Brody Peters, as the Farm Bureau Insurance Player of the Game vs Little Rock Hall.
Brody is a Senior, running back / middle linebacker, for the Bearcats. Last Friday night he ran for 226 yards and 2 touchdowns and had an interception on defense, leading to a 31-0 victory over the Warriors. He is the son of Brandon and Mary Peters. Brody says he enjoys hunting for deer in the fall when not playing football. He hopes to receive a college scholarship to play football at Arkansas Tech or perhaps a baseball scholarship at UA Rich Mountain next year after graduation. He plans to make a career in coaching after college.
This week, Brody and the Bearcats will host the Stigler Oklahoma Panthers, who lost to Sallisaw last week by a score of 35-21. So far this season, Mena’s defense has not allowed a point and they hope to complete their non-conference schedule with a third win for the season, before beginning conference play at Pottsville on September 27th. Kickoff will be at 7 pm this Friday night at Randall Horton Field.
Shown presenting Brody with his game ball is local Farm Bureau Insurance Agent, Mitch Sikes.
Farm Bureau Insurance is a proud supporter of Mena High School Athletics!!
