Hollie Sanders, facility manager at the Witt Stephens Jr. Central Arkansas Nature Center, has a fantastic recipe that warms the bones on chilly fall evenings. Best of all, it can be whipped up right alongside the campfire at deer camp in a traditional Dutch oven.

Friday night match up between the Lavaca Arrows and the Hackett Hornets is sure to be a hard hitting, smash mouth war. The kind of football game you get with a budding rivalry face off at the end of the season. Hackett has beaten the Arrows in the last 2 seasons, which doesn’t sit well for the Arrows. Expect the Arrows to come out looking for a little payback.
It is also Senior Night for our Arrows. This senior class has not beaten Hackett since dropping to the 2A. Senior captain and middle linebacker Trevon (T-Man) Moore said that, “ The past two years since we picked up Hackett on our schedule, They have beaten us down harder than anyone. It will mean the world to us seniors to get some payback”
There is a lot at stake in this game. With a Lavaca win and a Mountainburg win, the Arrows would find themselves in a 3 way tie for second place. To add even more incentive to the mix, If the Arrows can win by at least 13 points they would win the tie breaker and lock up the 2 seed going into the playoffs. Needless to say, there is a lot more to play for than just the rivalry. However, one reason that this matchup is becoming a rivalry is because there seems to be a lot at stake every time these two meet.
Coach Schlinker is ready to take the field. He said, “ I am excited about our offensive game plan. Coach Coby Graves, our OC, has put together a great scheme for this weeks game.” Regarding Hackett he said,” They (Hackett) bring a lot of pressure. Our O-line has to be extremely disciplined. Defensively, we must contain their quarterback, and defend the play action pass.”

Recently the area’s daily newspaper came out in support of one of the candidates for Sebastian County Judge. This is not a practice our publication will follow suit on. Naturally, each form of media has their own style and guidelines. However, we choose to follow the golden rule in journalism: We report the facts, you make the decision.
It is that rule which Resident 22 News will adhere too. One of which we take pride in following. Many times reporting on unpopular topics or ones that people are very opinionated about can be difficult. Certainly just because we work to be unbiased does not mean we do not have a personal opinion. Its a rule of professionalism, and a line I’ve personally drawn for myself over the years working at various news outlets. Even in an editorial setting, publications jeopardize their independence and integrity. Why pledge 364 days of unbiased reporting only to run political endorsements only days before?
We encourage you to vote and let your voice be heard. It’s a privilege to have a say in our government. Do your part and know that we will continue to do ours, report facts as we know them.

The 11-1 Lady Arrows took on the 4-7 Maumelle Charter School today in the first round of the Arkansas State Volleyball Tournament. The ladies took the court at 5:00 today and did exactly what they came to do. Winning in straight sets, 25-17, 25-6, and 25-11. This was a great victory, but its only the beginning.
The quarter finals start tomorrow. Lavaca will take the court at 3:00 against a very good 7-2 Ridgefield Christian team. Coach Headley had this to say about tomorrow’s match up, “ We will need to bring our ‘A’ game tomorrow, and pick up the intensity!” Coach went on to say that, “ the girls and coaches are excited about this challenge”
These ladies have been tenacious all year. This should be a good match up. Ridgefield will definitely challenge Lavaca, but Lavaca is a very good team as well, and I am sure the coaches and players are up for the challenge. Good Luck in the quarters as you make your run for a State Championship!!
As Always,
Go Arrows!!

The Lady Arrows are coming off of a great District Tournament win against Hackett. When asked what we should expect from the Lady Arrows in this tournament, Coach Headley said, “ I think we have good shot if we come out and play to our ability. I’m really wanting them to stay focused. I want them to have a great time at State but, I also want them to understand that we are going there to compete and make a run!”
This Arrow team has competed very well all season long. The only conference loss coming to Hackett, a team that the the Arrows beat in 2 out of 3 meetings. We, at Resident 22 News, want to wish the Lady Arrows good luck as they make their run for a State Championship!
As Always,
Go Arrows!!
Arrow Pride!!
