FORT SMITH- It is hard to believe that twenty years has passed.
Arkansas high school football stars of the River Valley who culminated their careers in 2003 are now approximately 38 years old and undoubtedly looking back and wondering where the years have gone.
Football is especially suited for small towns. The game is a rallying point for community members, and the stars that we know so well and think we will never forget…well, time passes by, and the next group comes along the next year.
As the 2023 season approaches, we thought it would be fun to look back at a list of superstars from the River Valley that played 20 years ago. So, for fan debate on who should have made the list or who should not have made the list, here is our list to start the debate!
Wide Receiver: Slick Shelley, Fort Smith Southside
Defensive Lineman: Ryan Crumb, Greenwood
Defensive Back: Sean Kearny, Waldron
Defensive Back: Tracy Stiger, Russellville
Punter: Jeremy Davis, Fort Smith Southside
The list above is a comparative list of River Valley players versus other players at their positions across the state in 2003. Positions left off the list would have been named to players in other regions of the state.
