Hunter & Hagen

Arkansas left-handers Hunter Hollan and Hagen Smith have been named to the watch list for the National Pitcher of the Year Award.

Arkansas is the only SEC program and one of just eight schools with multiple pitchers on the watch list for the award, which will be presented later this year by the College Baseball Foundation. Razorback legend Kevin Kopps won the 2021 award in addition to claiming the Golden Spikes Award and Dick Howser Trophy as the best player in college baseball.

Hollan, the Hogs’ Friday starter, is 6-1 with a 2.81 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 48 innings across nine starts on the mound this season. He has logged a team-leading four quality starts, including three against SEC opponents, this year.

In SEC play, Hollan’s numbers are equally as impressive. The Hallsville, Texas, native, in his first season at Arkansas after transferring from San Jacinto College, boasts a 3-1 record with a 3.29 ERA and 24 strikeouts over 27 1/3 innings of work.

Smith began the season as a starter before shifting to the bullpen due to injuries. As the Hogs’ wild card, he has posted a 5-1 record with a team-leading 2.79 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 38 2/3 innings across 10 appearances, including five starts. Smith has recorded two saves and limited opposing hitters to a miniscule .191 batting average on the year.

The Bullard, Texas, native is 2-1 with a 4.19 ERA in SEC play, racking up 31 strikeouts in 19 1/3 innings of work across five appearances, including one start. Both of his saves this season have come against SEC opponents.

The Top Benefits of Having Multiple Dogs

The Top Benefits of Having Multiple Dogs

Having a dog is a lot of work; there’s no disputing it. Adding another pup may seem like more work, but there are several advantages that will make it worth it. Continue reading to explore the top benefits of having multiple dogs.

Easier Time Puppy Training

Puppy training is easier when your young pup has an adult dog to look up to. Your older furry friend will take the puppy under their wing and teach them new tricks and model behaviors. Dogs are pack animals at heart and will quickly turn to the leader for guidance.

The young dog will watch your older dog’s mannerisms and quickly get the hang of how you do things in your house. You’ll have an easier time puppy training than if you only have one pup.

Double, Triple, Quadruple the Love

The more dogs you have, the more love you get. Many people bring more dogs into the house because they love the affection their pup gives them, and they want more. Is there anything better than coming home from a long day at work to receive a dog’s unconditional love? It’s truly magical and wonderful. You can double, triple, and quadruple that love when you have multiple dogs.

Help Calm an Anxious Dog

Does your dog have separation anxiety? Are you unable to leave them alone because they constantly bark or display destructive behavior? Getting another dog can help your current dog’s anxiety. The new furry friend can help keep your dog calm and entertained while you’re at work or running errands. Consult your vet if you’re still worried about your pup’s anxiety. Your dog may need medication or classes to help with the issue.

A Playtime Companion

Adequate socialization and exercise are crucial for your dog’s overall health. A second or third pup will socialize and play with your dog when you’re busy running errands or cleaning the house. They’ll learn to play with each other and encourage the other pup to get up off the couch and exercise. And the dogs will love to keep each other company. You’re less likely to have the results of bad behavior waiting for you when you get home. Say goodbye to chewed-up shoes and garbage.

You’ll still need to walk your pups, and it’s important to understand that walking more than one dog differs from a single canine friend. Ensure you’re walking at the slowest dog’s pace to follow best practices for walking with multiple dogs. It will make the walking process easier.

It may seem like a lot, but having multiple dogs comes with incredible benefits, as you’ve discovered above. You’ll wonder why you didn’t do adopt another dog sooner.

Tigers Offseason Work Showing Early Dividends

Tigers Offseason Work Showing Early Dividends

There’s a popular sports saying that states “No one leads on bad teams, coaches lead on good teams, but players lead on excellent teams”. In the arena of small-town sports, coaches are spread extremely thin. You’ll have basketball coaches that tend to also be track coaches, football coaches who double as baseball coaches, and all coaches have to help each other in every other area of the athletic program. They paint fields, arrange schedules, wash uniforms, and set up concessions while still coaching other sports. So at times, players have to be disciplined enough to step up and do what’s needed to be done. The Mansfield SR High Tigers football team hasn’t stepped up at all though. No sir, they’ve downright leaped forward.

Sophomore, Trey Powell, prepares for power clean reps that nearly match his overall body weight.

After back-to-back losing seasons, the Tigers football program finally broke free in 2022. Boasting 15 seniors on the team, Mansfield finished fourth in the 3A-1 conference with a 4-3 conference record and a 7-3 overall regular season record. The feat earned the Tigers a State Playoff berth for the first time since the 2019 season and just the tenth State Playoff appearance in school history. Great times, right? Well having 15 seniors to lead a team one season means the program will be short that exact amount the following year. That means there’s a lot of experience and skill to replace. Although Mansfield may not be able to rejuvenate that many seniors each and every season, they are already proving that they can still replicate the work it takes to remain successful.

Junior lineman, James Olinghouse, racks the bar after knocking out an impressive bench press burnout.

Many players spent the winter in basketball and the springtime playing baseball and track. Those that are strictly football players though have hit the weight room hard and heavy. Mansfield’s offseason players have taken it upon themselves to lead each other into the future by making sure they hold each other accountable. If you were a fly on the wall, you’d see players pumping others up to get one more rep in or push that added ten pounds up. Upcoming and new players are asking juniors and seniors about what to expect in SR High football and how to prepare for it. New techniques and exercises to improve their overall team speed and strength are being taken seriously. Even those currently in track and baseball are coming in early in the mornings to get their lifting sets in for football.

Junior, Marcus Townsend, was new to the weight room when he came in, but has shown massive improvements during the off-season.

The Tigers will see another large group moving up as they’re expected to be in the double digits in the sophomore department. Numbers are one thing, but youth and inexperience can cause chaos at times. Luckily, the upcoming sophomores have proper leadership through example in the higher ranks of the program. From how to lift properly, act maturely, and what they need to do to improve, the Tigers juniors and seniors are taking them under their wings. This big-brother mentality of the team has become extremely evident in the locker room. One of Mansfield’s juniors gave a coach’s dream answer in front of his younger counterparts when he was asked “What position do you think you’ll be playing next year”? Without mulling around to find the politically correct answer, he quickly and simply stated “I really don’t care what position I’m put at. Wherever the team needs me the most, that’s where I’ll be”. And that ladies and gentlemen is how you complete a proper microphone drop.

Sophomore, Dakota Deer, has swapped loose weight for muscle strength, speed, and tone for his defensive position.

While losing a ton of skills, experience, and leadership is rough for any program, the Tigers are proving that they can overcome the graduation cuts. “Our kids seem very excited about the upcoming season”, said Head Coach Tim Cothran. “They have been working extremely hard to become complete athletes and are getting much stronger in the process”. Mansfield’s offseason program has developed a trust between the coaches and players alike that is creating something special. It’s not merely a coach-led program nor a player lead program. Instead, it is slowly becoming a top to bottom overall team-led program. Some may think that Mansfield’s 2022 season was a one-and-done, but the players in the Tigers see it as just the first step of many many more successful years to come.

DIY Projects for Those Who Love the Outdoors

If you like spending time outside, you probably want to find a few things you can work on while you’re getting fresh air. For some people, thinking of new projects can be difficult, but there’s no shortage of ideas you can try.

Having a few tasks available can help to improve your leisure time. These DIY projects for those who love the outdoors will ensure you’re never bored.

Create a Raised Garden

Many people enjoy gardening, but it can be hard on your knees, especially for older people and individuals with disabilities. A raised garden is convenient for those who have trouble getting up and down or who want a convenient gardening setup.

In a raised garden, the beds get placed above the surrounding soil on a platform or other enclosed space. Raised gardens make gardening more manageable in small spaces and protect the bed from trampling. They also protect the garden from weeds, making it easier to grow healthy plants.

Reupholster Boat Seats

If you like boating, taking care of your craft is essential. While you must look after the motor, battery, and other parts, quality boat seats can make the ride even more enjoyable. If your seats need to get redone, you can reupholster them yourself to save money and create something unique.

Boat owners can use many different fabrics to reupholster their seats. The most common choices are polyester, leather, and marine vinyl. Learning about the importance of properly lining boat seats will give you an idea of what to consider when tackling the project.

Put Up a Privacy Fence

If you love the outdoors, you probably want to enjoy your yard peacefully. A privacy fence will prevent unwanted visitors from entering your yard and provide an appealing aesthetic that increases your property’s value.

Installing a privacy fence improves safety, decreases wind, and provides shade. To get started, determine where your property lines are, learn the local regulations, and create a budget. Building 200 feet of fencing costs roughly $2500-$7000, so you’ll need to prepare everything beforehand to ensure you don’t waste any material during the project.

Find Creative Ways To Enjoy the Outdoors

For those who enjoy being outdoors, there’s no shortage of things you can do to keep yourself busy or improve the space. If you’re looking for new ideas, you can start by thinking of the activities that you want to do.

With these DIY projects for those who love the outdoors, you can get creative while making the most of your time.

Ballerz, A Team On A Mission

Ballerz, A Team On A Mission

On a windy Sunday in Charleston, Head Coach Kelsey Edwards calls out a drill to her team. Amongst the trophies and banners that Charleston Tigers have won over the schools time being a force on the court and on the football field, seven 7th Graders and one 6th Graders run the drill. It’s then Kailan Fisher from Trinity Junior High pulls up a 3 pointer from the top of the arc, nothing but net. “He’s the top Point Guard in his grade.” Coach Edwards says with a grin.

The team continues to run the drill, a little looser than Coach Edwards would like, they are given more direction as she explains why this group of kids. “We threw together teams from small schools that nobody looks at really. That’s really where I try to get most of my kids, because they don’t get many looks.” With student-athletes from Charleston, Lavaca, Monroe, and Trinity; there is an emphasis on the student “They always have to send me their report cards. Even though we are not through schools and we play just AAU basketball they still have got to send me those report cards.” Coach Edwards said.

“A lot of kids want to be fancy and go behind the back. If you don’t develop them and do the standard stuff you’re not going to beat any body.” Coach Edwards said.

Full disclosure I have known Kelsey for about 7 years, her son Zak Edwards played for the Greenwood Pittbulls when my son played, albeit a grade difference our teams scrimmaged each other quite a bit. It was a mutual friend of ours that got Kelsey into coaching. “He [Justin Jasna] was the reason why I got my own team at the Boys and Girls Club. He had the Hoop Dogs and they were awesome.” Coach Edwards said. Jasna had given me some advice during my time with the Pittbulls, “You recruit the parents than develop the kid.” this is something that Coach Edwards has done with her team, “The parents are big. They are a huge deal. Every single parent I have will pick up these kids.”

Sitting down with the kids Lavaca’s Tanner Hamilton becomes the teams PR guy. Asked what their favorite experience about being on a basketball team that has expanded outside of just playing Boys and Girls Club, “Nationals last year..” Hamilton says before being cut short by Matteo Gaona (Charleston) and Conner Freitheim (Trinity) “Dave and Busters!” they both said. “Mine would have to be the Dave and Busters as well, the whole team was there it was just a great time.” Hamilton added.

When talking to this team you get a sense of how in tune with each other they are. When asked what was the toughest team they had played it was the Force out of Little Rock and the Hoyas out of Pine Bluff. It was not just one kid responding to questions it was the whole team in near unison replying with the same answer. Jokingly they were asked “Who is the best player?” they responded “Probably Kailan.” The point guard from earlier in the article that was hitting three pointers with ease. “He breaks everybody, nobody has ankle breakers but him.” Tanner Hamilton said. “Out of confidence, ya’ll should say yourself.” Charleston’s Lukas Burleson added.

Then came the “Who is the best defender?” “MATTEO!” they exclaimed. Tanner Hamilton added “He’s got speed and that wingspan.”

When playing travel basketball or travel anything it takes a large commitment not just from the parents, but the athletes as well but there is a sense of pride being selected. “I quit baseball to play travel basketball.” Hamilton said “I was pretty happy that I got asked to play for a travel team.” Kailan Fisher added to the response “To me it’s special because, it let’s me know that someone want’s me to play for them.” There are some questions and answers that will be added to another article at a later date covering the curious world of travel sports.

After sitting with these kids, you begin to understand what the word team means to them. When asked what they take back to their school ball team they responded “To be a better teammate. To help pick up the next guy and help them.” When you are an athlete that has played at a higher level in your age group it can be easy to forget that not every kid has that opportunity. This group of kids certainly have not let that be forgotten.

In the teams second season, they are blazing the same path of success as the year before. The Ballerz have been in two tournaments this year with a another coming up this weekend in Conway.

Razorbacks Defeat UCA 6-3 Before Heading to Georgia for Weekend SEC Series

FAYETTEVILLE – No. 5 Arkansas (30-7) held off a late rally by UCA (16-20) and came out with a 6-3 midweek win on Tuesday night at Baum-Walker Stadium.

The Hogs, now 9-1 in midweek games this year, improved to 25-3 at home with the win. Excluding 2020, Arkansas has posted six consecutive 20-win seasons at Baum-Walker Stadium, including a program-record 34-win season in 2018.

Razorback starter Cody Adcock set the tone on the mound, tossing four innings of one-run ball. The right-hander punched out four while allowing just one hit and issuing only one free pass before giving way to the bullpen.

UCA struck first with a run in the top of the second, but Arkansas responded with three runs of its own in the bottom half of the frame. Harold Coll’s RBI single to left field tied the game at one apiece before Tavian Josenberger brought home a pair of runners with his single to left, extending the Razorbacks’ lead to 3-1 in the second inning.

Trailing by two in the top of the seventh, the Bears broke through for a pair of runs with a two-run homer to tie the game at three. The Razorbacks’ second three-run inning of the ballgame, however, would be the difference.

Arkansas put another three-spot on the board in the bottom of the seventh, beginning with Brady Slavens’ go-ahead RBI single. The Hogs opened their lead to 6-3 on a bases-loaded walk to Hudson Polk followed by a run-scoring wild pitch.

Parker Coil (2.0 IP, 1 SO), Christian Foutch (2.0 IP, 2 SO) and Austin Ledbetter (1.0 IP, 1 SO) locked down the final five innings in relief of Adcock. Foutch earned his first career win, while Ledbetter carded his first career save.

Five Razorbacks finished the game with multiple hits, including Josenberger (2-for-5, 2 RBI), Peyton Stovall (2-for-4), Kendall Diggs (2-for-5), Caleb Cali (2-for-5, 2 R) and Ben McLaughlin (2-for-4). The Hogs’ nation-leading home run streak of 32 consecutive games was snapped in Tuesday night’s win against the Bears.

Arkansas jumps back into SEC play this weekend, traveling to Athens, Ga., to take on Eastern Division foe Georgia. First pitch in the series opener of the three-game series is scheduled for 6 p.m. CT Thursday, April 20, on SEC Network.

Movie Night at the Bakery Sports Films: Boxing, Flying, and more! 

Sports Movie Night at the Bakery featuring boxing, flying, and more! The Bakery District and Fort Smith International Film Festival will host regional filmmaker Bernard Oliver’s documentary, Lost in the Sauce, which was screened at the 2022 film festival. The plot follows a professional boxer, professional musician, father and husband and his coach and mentor over a tale you have to see to believe. “I wanted to provide a look at a story that is ongoing and not yet at its end,” Oliver exclaims. “My teammate and current world contender, Kalvin Henderson, has always deserved to have his story told. My coach, Kevin Lightburn, also deserves to be celebrated. The perfect way I could do that was to follow them around and film and create something.”  

Thursday April 27 at the Bakery District (70 S 7th St.), doors open at 6:30p.m. with the show starting at 7p.m.  Oliver invites the River Valley to check out his emotion evoking film. “I want this story to reach each and every kid that was or is told they are not good enough. Every kid that had a dream that was crushed by adults or peers. I certainly want to touch those little black boys and girls who believe sports is their only way out of poverty. That myth must be crushed!” Director Bernard Oliver will there to give a Q&A after the screening.  

The evening will also feature Limits: The Story of ArkanSTOL by Arkansas filmmakers Zak Heald, Nicholas Wiench. ArkanSTOL is a one-of-a-kind, uniquely challenging aerial competition that only the most skilled pilots are qualified to participate in. Testing pilots through a wide range of skills and demanding an intimate understanding of their plane, ArkanSTOL requires competitors to perform at the absolute top of their game. Pilots must thoroughly understand their own skill level as a pilot before attempting to qualify. For most pilots, flying at this event is an impossible challenge that requires years of experience. However, this year two young pilots, both 18, come to ArkanSTOL to try and make a name for themselves. 

The Thursday night film series will showcase some of the 271 movies screened at the first two years of the Fort Smith International Film Festival. Executive Director Brandon Chase Goldsmith said, “If you missed the festival or didn’t catch a movie you wanted to see, then Movie Night at the Bakery is your chance. The opportunity to see incredible independent films should not be limited to two festival days. Bring your friends, family, or a date, grab some popcorn, a drink and enjoy a 5-dollar movie!”
