Pointers Win Over Greenwood

Van Buren’s Trenton Cooley scored 31 points with seven steals enroute to a 77-43 win over the Bulldogs.

The opening period saw both teams struggling to find consistency getting to the basket as turnovers plagued the Pointers and Bulldogs. It was not until the 6:20 mark on the clock that Van Buren would put the first points on the board. Coming of football National Signing Day event, the Culver Stockton bound Senior Peyton Presson led the Bulldogs with seven points. Classmate and Northeastern State University football signee L.J. Robins had three points and Junior Jayden Garnes had two points. The score after one period saw the Bulldogs down 16-12.

The Pointers would outscore Greenwood 20-9 going into the half putting their lead to 37-21. Presson again led the scoring with five points, Robins and Senior Braden Bollman with two points each.

A sixteen point effort from the Van Buren Junior Cooley spoiled the opportunity the Bulldogs had to claw back and get close. Van Buren scored 31 points in just seven minutes getting their lead to 37. Free throws from Bollman, Garnes, and Senior Brenden Chick added six points. While baskets from Presson, Robins, and Garnes added an additional six points. Score at the end of the 3rd, 70-33.

The Bulldogs would not go quietly into the night as Junior classmates Lane Philpot and Caleb Burnette would score five points each. Van Buren beats the Bulldogs 77-43.

The Bulldogs will be at home this Friday against the Harrison Goblins. Currently Harrison sits just ahead of Greenwood in the 5A West standings. The Goblins got the better of the Bulldogs up on Crooked Creek winning 68-37.

Lady Bulldogs Sweep Van Buren In Conference Play

The Lady Bulldogs were on the road to the neighbor across the river taking on the Lady Pointers of Van Buren. Greenwood would handle Van Buren 59-35 in 5A West Conference action.

Van Buren would keep it close in the first period at 7-7 when the Lady Bulldogs found another gear and started to pull away ending the period 15-7. Sophomore Kylah Pearcy lead the first period with five points. Seniors Anna Trusty and Carly Sexton each had four points. Junior Jenna Honkala had two points to end the period.

The second period saw Greenwood jump out to a large lead behind a pressing defense and offensive fireworks. With the defense, it did find several Lady Bulldogs in foul trouble going into the half. Junior Pate Jones would come off the bench and hit back-to-back shots, one for three points the other for two. Anna Trusty lead the Lady Bulldog run with ten points with only two of those coming from the foul line. Pearcy added six points to her total on the night. Senior Brooklyn Woolsey added a three-point basket. The Lady Bulldogs out scored the Lady Pointers 27-8 in the second period, to a 39-15 advantage going into halftime.

In the third period, the Lady Bulldogs pushed their lead to 32 points behind four three point baskets. Brooklyn Woolsey had six points in the period, followed by classmate Carly Sexton with five points. Anna Trusty had four points and Kylah Pearcy with three. Going into the fourth period, Greenwood led 57-25.

In a turn of events, the Lady Pointers outscored Greenwood 10-2, with Carly Sexton getting the only points of the period.

The Lady Bulldogs sit atop the 5A West standings with a 8-1 record, the only conference loss being Mountain Home. Greenwood will be at home Friday against Harrison, before traveling to Siloam Springs on Tuesday. Then on Friday, the Lady Bulldogs welcome the Lady Bombers into H.B. Stewart Arena in a rematch of the abovementioned loss.

Mansfield Boys Run Away With Tigers First Ever State Indoor Track Trophy

Mansfield Boys Run Away With Tigers First Ever State Indoor Track Trophy

When people talk about the excellent success of Mansfield’s Track and Field program, it is assumed that they are speaking of the Lady Tigers. The Lady Tigers have completely owned the State Indoor Track podium over the past two decades. So much so that it has been questioned as to if there is enough space to put their next State Title on the trophy wall. The Mansfield boys track program on the other hand has had a long history of getting close to the Indoor State Meet trophy podium, but not once has any group brought home a trophy. It wasn’t until Saturday, February 3rd at the Randal Tyson Track Center in Fayetteville, that Mansfield boys track history was made. The Mansfield Tigers were able to finally cross the threshold of the trophy podium as the Tigers won their first ever Indoor State Track trophy in the form of the 2A State Runner-Up award.

Coach Whit Overton and legendary former Coach, John Mackey, go over the boys’ numbers at the Indoor Meet.

The Tigers battled all day for points against the reining and defending Indoor Champion Quitman Bulldogs. At the halfway mark, Mansfield held a 46-44 lead over the Bulldogs with Yellville-Summit holding a distant third place with 66 points. The two programs scratched a point here and bit at a point there but still remained close as nightfall began to fall with the Tigers still leading 60-51. With result still being tallied and a few races to go, the Tigers knew they would be trophy bound as Mansfield and Quitman had pulled away from the pack to turn things into a two-team race to the finish. Unfortunately for Mansfield, Quitman was able to pull away late and finish with 147 points on the day to win the championship. The Tigers ended their day with an impressive 128 points which still blew the rest of the field off the track as the closest competitor was Yellville-Summit who finished with 46 points.

The Tigers not only brought home the hardware, but Mansfield also set the stage for a bright future in the boys’ track and field program. Sophomore, Braxton Bartlett, was the team’s overall points leader as he scooped up a total of 28 points for the Tigers. Bartlett literally outran himself by setting personal records in his 2nd place 60-meter dash, 5th place 400-meter dash, 1st place 200-meter dash, and in his team finish of the 4×400 meter relay. Junior distant runner, Josiah Williams, was just one point shy of Bartlett by rolling out with 27 points. Williams dug down into his Cross County skills bag to pull away with 2nd place in the 800-meter run, 4th place in the 3200-meter run, 5th place in the 1600-meter run, and was a big assist in the Tigers 1st place win of the 4×800 relay. Normally, Mansfield leans heavily on speedster Trey Powell on these kinds of big stages. Although Powell was dinged up with an ankle injury, the Tigers Junior was determined to leave his mark on this historic run by scoring 26 points in the 4×400 relay, 200-meter dash, the triple jump, and the long jump. Cooper Edwards and Zander Walters joined Powell in the distance jumps to add another 5 points. The solo Senior of the boys’ team, Peyton Martin, is known more for his baseball, football, and basketball skills by most people but Martin brought track shoes with a pivotal first place win in the pole vault and then closed out his night with an impressive performance in the 4×400 meter relay. Sophomore’s Dominic Shores and Alex Hecox stepped up big bringing in a combined 15 points in the 60-meter hurdles while fellow tenth graders Ethan Martin and Logan Ore threw a total of 10 points into the ring with their shot-put performances.

Senior, Peyton Martin, walks with Coach Bowman and fellow senior, Raine Hecox (with Coach Andrews) for their traditional final Indoor lap.

Although Mansfield came up short from winning an overall Championship, the Runner-Up spot still sent waves through the history books. If you look round the walls of Mansfield’s basketball gymnasium, you’ll see the walls are plastered with Championship and Runner-up teams. All but one are from the Lady Tigers in volleyball, indoor track, outdoor track, cross country and basketball. That sole one framed picture that the boys in Mansfield look to is the Tigers only State accolade from Mansfield’s epic baseball State Championship in 1978. It took 46 years for a Tigers team to do it but clear some space and get a frame because the 2024 Mansfield Tigers are ready for their close up.

Extension financial expert offers filing tips for 2023 tax season

Extension financial expert offers filing tips for 2023 tax season

By Rebekah Hall 
U of A System Division of Agriculture

 With the start of tax season on Jan. 29, the Internal Revenue Service has begun accepting and processing 2023 tax year returns. The standard deduction, which is adjusted annually for inflation, increased for tax year 2023 and will also increase for tax year 2024.

TAX TIPS — Laura Hendrix, extension associate professor of personal finance and consumer economics for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, said it’s important for taxpayers to gather and organize necessary documents and information before filing for the 2023 tax year. (Division of Agriculture photo.) 

Laura Hendrix, extension associate professor of personal finance and consumer economics for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, said a taxpayer may choose to take the standard deduction or to itemize their deductions.

“There are several factors that can influence a taxpayer’s choice, including changes to their tax situation, any changes to the standard deduction amount and recent tax law changes,” Hendrix said. “Generally, most taxpayers use the option that gives them the lowest overall tax, and most people take the standard deduction, which changes each year for inflation.”

Hendrix said deductions are subtracted from a taxpayer’s income to determine adjusted gross income, or AGI, which is the amount on which an individual pays taxes.

“The more deductions you have, the lower your AGI and the less you will pay in taxes,” Hendrix said. “Deductions can reduce the amount of a taxpayer’s income before they calculate the tax they owe.”

Itemized deductions that taxpayers may claim include state and local income or sales tax, real estate and personal property taxes, home mortgage interest, personal casualty and theft losses from a federally declared disaster, gifts to a qualified charity and unreimbursed medical and dental expenses that exceed 7.5 percent of AGI.

Hendrix said the amount of one’s standard deduction depends on a taxpayer’s filing status, age, whether they are blind and whether the taxpayer is claimed as a dependent by someone else.

“Generally, if a taxpayer’s itemized deductions are larger than their standard deduction, it makes sense for them to itemize,” she said. “Taxpayers who choose to itemize deductions should read the instructions for Schedule A and complete Form 1040, Itemized Deductions.”

Standard deduction amounts for tax year 2023, filing in 2024:

  • For married couples filing jointly: $27,000, up $1,800 from 2022
  • For single taxpayers and married individuals filing separately: $13,850, up $900 from 2022
  • For heads of households: $20,800, up $1,400 from 2022

Standard deduction amounts for tax year 2024, filing in 2025:

  • For married couples filing jointly: $29,200, up $1,500 from 2023
  • For single taxpayers and married individuals filing separately: $14,600, up $750 from 2023
  • For heads of households: $21,900, up $1,100 from 2023

Preparation is key

The IRS expects more than 128 million individual tax returns to be filed by the April 15, 2024, tax deadline. Hendrix said it’s important for individuals and families to keep organized records for tax filing.

“It’s like getting all your ingredients ready before preparing a meal, though not as fun,” Hendrix said.

To do things “quickly and the right way,” Hendrix said taxpayers should have the following information ready before sitting down to file:

  • Social security numbers for yourself, your spouse and any dependents
  • Last year’s tax returns — federal and state
  • All of your W-2 forms if you were paid as an employee
  • All of your 1099 forms if you were paid, for example, as an independent contractor
  • Forms received from bank and investment accounts detailing interest earned, capital gains and losses and retirement account contributions
  • If you run your own business, a list of business expenses to see if they are deductible
  • Mortgage and property tax statements
  • Charitable contributions
  • Unreimbursed medical expenses
  • Education expenses
  • Child or dependent care expenses

Tax credits

Hendrix said the Earned Income Tax Credit is a refundable credit. “If you have worked and earned income under $59,187 in 2023, you may qualify,” she said. “Even if you know you won’t owe any taxes, you should still file for EITC. The credit will be sent to you as a refund.”

  • Child Tax Credit (CTC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) are tax credits for filers with qualifying dependents. The Child Tax Credit is worth a maximum of $2,000 per qualifying child. Up to $1,600 is refundable as the Additional Child Tax Credit. CTC is applied to the tax bill, and ACTC is refundable. Children must be under the age of 17 and must have lived with the taxpayer for more than half the year.
  • Child and Dependent Care Credit: Tax filers may claim between 20 and 35 percent of care expenses, up to $3,000 for one qualifying individual or $6,000 for two or more qualifying individuals. Expenses paid for the care of a qualifying individual are eligible expenses if the primary reason for paying the expense is to assure the individual’s well-being and protection. The percentage claim allowed (20-35 percent) is based on income, with lower-income filers receiving a higher percentage allowed for the credit.

The IRS Tax Assistant at  www.irs.gov/help/ita is an online tool and calculator that can help filers determine qualification and estimate amounts.

Filing resources

The IRS encourages taxpayers to file electronically with direct deposit, as this is the fastest and easiest way to receive a refund.

“Avoid advanced refund options offered by tax preparers that charge high fees,” Hendrix added.

IRS Free File

  • If your income is $79,000 or less, you qualify for a free federal tax return. Access free online tax preparation and filing at an IRS partner site through IRS Free File.
  • If your income is more than $79,000, you can access fillable forms to prepare your own return without assistance.
  • irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free

MyFreeTaxes

  • United Way provides MyFreeTaxes in partnership with the IRS’s Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program to help filers prepare their tax returns on their own or have their return prepared for them for free. Consumers making less than $60,000 qualify for free tax prep.

Obituary – Benny Hubby (1936 – 2024)

Obituary – Benny Hubby (1936 – 2024)

Benny Hubby, 87, went to be with his Lord and Savior, February 2, 2024. Benny was born December 11, 1936 in Clovis, NM Benjamin and Ollie Hubby.

Ben was born in Clovis, New Mexico in 1936. He graduated from Clovis High School and joined the Navy. He served aboard the USS New Jersey and the USS Northhampton as a machinist. He is a veteran of the Korean War and sailed both across the Arctic Circle (Blue Nose) and across the equator (Shellback). He also served with the American Red Cross in the mid-1960’s in Cam Rahn Bay, Vietnam.

After his initial tour in the Navy, he began studying at Bethany Nazarene College in Bethany, Oklahoma. During this time, he would visit his parents, who then lived near Waldron, Arkansas. It was there where he met the love of his life, Freddie Jo (Hale) Hubby. They would remain married for 54 years, when Freddie passed away after a battle with Lymphoma. They would have two children together: Cindy (Hubby) Klatt and Tim Hubby.

After completing college, Ben would enjoy a successful career in commercial insurance and as a loss control consultant. He would eventually retire from insurance and pursue his love of gardening, boating, etc. He would earn his Master Gardener designation and use these skills to plan and enhance gardens at various nursing homes as a volunteer. His service in the Navy gave him lifelong love of boating, and he would eventually buy a houseboat and spend hours on the water (sometimes lost).

He always loved spending time with family, and his cooking specialty was making the most delicious biscuits and gravy. Anytime family was in town, it wasn’t “breakfast” without Papa Ben’s biscuits and gravy. In his final years, he settled into an assisted living community that he loved, where he made many new friends and spent his last years happy and content.

Benny leaves behind to cherish his memory, his daughter Cindy Klatt and husband Larry, son Tim Hubby and wife Elizabeth Hubby. Papa Ben will forever remain in the hearts of his grandchildren: Whitney Barron (Taylor), Justin Deaton, Vivian Hubby, Grace Hubby and great-granddaughter Pearl Barron and great-grandson Duke Barron. Benny will be missed by all that knew him and the many whose lives he impacted including a host of nieces, nephews, friends neighbors and loved ones.

Benny was preceded in death by the love of his life, Freddie Hubby and his parents: Benjamin and Ollie Hubby.

Benny’s graveside life celebration will be 11:00 a.m., Monday, January 5, 2024 at the Union Hill Cemetery in Union Hill Arkansas with Rev. Zach Hale officiating.

We wish to thank the Fayetteville Home Based Primary Care unit at the Fayetteville VA for their years of devotion and care for our father. They were Godsend! In the end, the actions and services provided by the Circle of Life Hospice in Springdale, Arkansas were such a comfort to him and us. Their thoughtfulness and compassion made this very difficult time more bearable and helped us focus on just spending our final minutes with him in peace.
