Head coach for the Bucks, Junior Weaver, wanted the opportunity for some of his players to interact with local elementary students. “We wanted to give kids the opportunity to get to know our players and for our players to interact with local students. It’s positive in every way.”

The Buck baseball players were wearing their uniforms, something the children at HHE loved. After reading, students spent a few minutes asking the players questions about baseball, their positions, and favorite players.

UA Rich Mountain’s mission is to provide transformative education to all learners.

She currently has a 11-6 amateur record and is considered one of the Natural State’s top female boxers. Being chosen to compete on a Pro/ Am card is a big deal and Parker intends on making the best of this opportunity. Female boxing is growing in leaps and bounds. She is very excited to represent Arkansas, Mena, Polk County and our local gym.
