Hello and thanks for reading the first issue of Bobcats Illustrated. The goal for this magazine is to help promote Berryville High School athletics.
Special thanks go to award-winning photographer Charles Chappell, whose work is featured on these pages. We’re biased but we believe Charlie is the finest sports photographer in the state of Arkansas.
We’d also like to thank Berryville School District superintendent Owen Powell, athletic director and boys basketball coach Brent Compton and all the coaches in the Berryville School District, as well as our advertisers who helped make this publication possible. We appreciate all of you! Go Bobcats!
