It’s almost time again for Lavaca High School to name a new Queen. January 18th will be the basketball homecoming for the Arrows, during which one of three seniors will be named the 2019 Basketball Homecoming Queen.

Earlier today Lavaca High School made the following announcement on their Facebook page.

“We are proud to introduce the Basketball Homecoming maids for 2019! Seniors are Abby Glidewell, Hope Headley, and Abrie Rainwater; Juniors are Mallory Brittain and Hannah Hutchins. Sophomores are Sydney Crabtree and Taylor Lile. These 7 ladies are a wonderful representation of our student body, and we would love for you to come out and support them January 18th, 2019 at 6:00 p.m. for the crowing ceremony. The senior high boys and girls basketball teams will play immediately following the ceremony. Come out and support your Arrows and enjoy the homecoming festivities!”

Resident 22 News and Resident Press would like to congratulate all of the members of this years court and wish Hope, Abby, and Abrie good luck. Make sure to come out and watch the crowing ceremony and then stay to watch the Golden Arrows take on the Mountainburg Dragons.

The Lavaca Golden Arrows have racked up some individual football awards. Football is a team sport and it is often said “there is no I in team.” However, The team is comprised of individual players. Those players who have had extraordinary efforts are honored. What I know of this group of awardees is that they are true leaders who gave an extraordinary effort every time they stepped onto the field. So with no further ado, it is my pleasure to announce this year’s individual awardees from Lavaca High School’s Golden Arrow football team.

ALL STATE honors go to Trevon (T-Man) Moore. T-man played both middle linebacker and offensive guard. He lead the Arrows in total tackles with 88, averaging 9.8 tackles per game. He was the Defensive Captain for the Arrows. On offense, T-man lead the way as a pulling guard, clearing holes for Lavaca ball carriers all year. Most of all, Moore was one of the driving forces and motivators on the team.

ALL DISTRICT honors go out to three well deserving players; Quarterback Jimmy Hall, Running Back Tyler Armistead, and Wide Receiver Mason Walter. Jimmy Hall lead the team in total offense with 951 total yards averaging 135.9 yards per game. Tyler Armistead added 799 total yards with an Average of 88.8 yards per game. Mason Walter averaged 5.7 tackles per game as well as rounding out the offensive attack from the wide receiver position.

There were also 3 Honorable mentions. Trey Werner, Tucker Marshall, and Kaw-Liga Brewer. These three were vital to the success of the Arrows this year. Look forward to watching both Kaw-Liga and Tucker next year as the torch has been passed tp them.

Lavaca Cheerleaders take State! The Lavaca Cheer team has worked very hard and competed in 6 competitions this year, but none bigger than today. Today the Golden Arrow Cheer team competed against five schools in the State Championship of the 1-3A co-ed division. The team is bringing home the bling. They are now and forever State Champs! The past two years the team competed in the Game Day category, but have moved this year to the 1-3A Co-Ed Cheer division. This Arrow team spent countless hours fighting through injuries in a quest for the perfect routine. Today they delivered on that quest making all the scapes and bruises worth while. Congratulations to Danielle Overton and her Cheer Team.
