Bearcat Coaches have selected #54, Jordan Roberts, as the Farm Bureau Insurance Player of the Week vs. Ozark.
Jordan is a Senior and plays Defensive Tackle for the Bearcats this season. Jordan had 6 tackles on the night and
2 were for loss of yardage.
Jordan is the son of Chris and Leah Roberts and big brother to sister, Jaden, who is a 9th grader at MHS.
Jordan enjoys hunting, fishing, and just about anything to do with the outdoors. After graduation, he plans
to go to work with his Father and Grandfather, Wes, in the construction business.
This week, Jordan and the Bearcats will travel to take on the 4-4 Dardanelle Sand Lizards. A home field playoff game is
on the line, if Mena can win there and at Lamar in Week #10.
Shown presenting Jordan with Week # 8’s game ball is Farm Bureau Agency Manager, Tony Hooper, and Bearcat Assistant
Coach, Chad Arnold.
Farm Bureau Insurance is a proud supporter of Mena Bearcat Athletics!!

National School Bus Safety Week was the result of a letter-writing campaign to President Nixon in 1969. Founded by Dick Fischer, a former school district transportation director in California, the first NSBSW was held in 1970. In 1975, the National Association for Pupil Transportation (NAPT) was founded. The NAPT, along with the National School Transportation Association (NSTA) and National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services (NASDPT), hosts National Bus Safety Week each year.
