The Mena Jr. High Team Camp was held on Thursday at Bob Carver Bearcat Stadium. Teams from DeQueen, Mansfield & Cossatot participated.
These JR Ladycats need to be bragged on. JR High Varsity went 7 and 2 at the Harding University Team Camp, and their 2 losses were to Lake Hamilton by 11 and a Senior High varsity team by 3. Our JR High JV was a totally different team from day 1 to day 3. There were tons of improvement, and ended with a win over Lakeside.
