Despite leading by three runs going into the bottom of the seventh inning Friday, the Monticello High School baseball team fell to the class 7A Bryant Hornets, 6-5 in the varsity non-conference match-up.
The visiting Billies got on the board first as Brandon Matthews singled up the middle and three batters later Taylor Smith got his seventh RBI of the season driving in Matthews with a two-base drive to the fence in left field. Monticello tacked on another run in the third as Thomas Lafever scored on a passed ball by Hornet catcher, Dylan Cross. Read the rest of this entry »

David Rodela completed the 26.2 mile Marathon in Little Rock, Sunday.
This was his first time to enter a marathon and his time was only 5 hours 11 minutes 55 seconds, not bad for a 50 year old! David said he is looking forward to next year for a better time.
Rodella and his wife, Marie, drove home they planned not only how to run next year, but how they could work on living more healthy.
David said, “even though I didn’t win, as I crossed that finish line I felt like I was a winner. It was truly a awesome undertaking. to sum it up it was a honor to run along side so many winners ~ all of them.”
Congratulations, David!!

I hope he never changes in any way.

The freshman hit .565 with three home runs and had 10 runs batted in while also scoring five times. She had at least two hits in each of the last six games, including a three-hit effort in a 10-1 win over the Lady Statesmen. Her home runs against Alcorn State and DSU put UAM ahead in those contests. Read the rest of this entry »

Senator Jeffress, Katie, Weston, and Katie's cousin, who she has helped several years
State Senator Jimmy Jeffress visited Drew Central schools Monday to extend congratulation to Katie Taylor, age 13, who was named one of Arkansas’ top two youth volunteers for 2010 by The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards.
Katie, a seventh-grader at Drew Central Middle School, created games and activities to help her young autistic cousin learn basic school subjects, and has helped educate hundreds of adults and young people about autism. “In 2004, when my cousin Weston was diagnosed with autism, I read that most autistic children’s minds are two years behind their age, but that it can be helped,” said Katie.
