Here's the clip of Jones coming onto the field this morning: He followed it up by telling his team they had to "create [their] own energy." #AState

One of my favorite parts of last night's Little Rock Trojan Baseball celebration was watching the guys pull in their bus driver, Kevin. "It's been an honor riding on your bus." "Well, where are you going??" "Back on your bus, Kevin!!"

Early #ARPreps Catch of the Year nominee from Benton Touchdown Club WR AP Lewis (Austin-Phillip Lewis). LRCA jumped out to a 14-7 lead, but Benton scored 21 straight to head to half with a 28-14 advantage.

Shoutout to the Junior Deputy Little League team for earning their first-ever win at the SW Region Tournament!! #Arkansas beat New Mexico 9-4 to avoid elimination. #LLWS

DOWN GOES STEPH 😂 Joe T. Robinson's Dayson Lee (C/o 2032 😳) was LIGHTS OUT today, even taking down Steph during a game of knockout.

This Little Rock Trojan Baseball fan is all of us watching postseason college baseball for the next month 😂

When Steve Sullivan talked with Coach Deifel before the season, she talked a lot about family: how she wanted her team to be able to see her as both a strong coach and a strong mom. That conversation played back in my mind as I saw her postgame. The program is in good hands. #WPS

Searching through the KATV Archives today and came across this clip from Billy Ray from 2000: "You can only stay in California so long before you just have to get out. You have to come back and breathe in that #Arkansas air." #WPS

#Arkansas commit Tay Lockett (Tay "Boogie" Lockett) made a statement to start conference play tonight. The new Conway Wampus Cat took the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown to start a 57-21. #ARPreps

Like many of the recent in-state commitments, Kennedy says new HFC Ryan Silverfield recruited him at Memphis. He says he committed to the Hogs just before Silverfield hopped on the jet for Fayetteville. #WPS

It got lost in the shuffle of the no-hitter, but T.O made a great sliding grab in foul territory against his hometown team. Little Rock Trojan Baseball will look to rebound heading into a crucial OVC battle with UT Martin this weekend.

I say it every week... Bryant Hornet Football.. still good. Watch TJ Hodges (Tjhodges2026) break free for a TD ahead of his commitment decision day Saturday afternoon. #ARPreps

THE CUPSET IS COMPLETE!! Little Rock Rangers earns the first #USOC2025 win in club history, taking down USL Championship side Birmingham Legion, 1-0!!

BURGESS BEATS THE BUZZER!! 🏆 In an absolutely stunning finish, Terrion Burgess put Benton Panthers Boys Basketball ahead with less than five seconds to go, giving Benton a 5A State Championship. #ARPreps

Another week, another Tay "Boogie" Lockett TD. #Arkansas commit Tay Lockett jumped in the passing lane and boogied into the end zone as part of a 31-7 win over NLR. #ARPreps

He may not have won this year's Corgi race, but Yummy certainly won his way into our hearts ❤️

The Kade Anderson experience™️ has reportedly come to an end in North Little Rock. Anderson finished with a 1.06 ERA in 18 appearances with the Travs.

"I don't want to be in the Futures Games. I want to be in the Show." Through 10 starts with the Arkansas Travelers, Kade Anderson has been dominant, posting a 1.29 ERA with 76 SOs and a 0.69 WHIP. He leads the Texas League lead in all 3 stats, and is patiently waiting on the call. #MiLB

Signing Day is never without its surprises. This time for the #Razorbacks, it was a 4-star QB flip from California. I asked the other QB in #Arkansas' 2025 class, Grayson Wilson, whether he knew that was coming. "I was told that they weren't going to." #WPS

Meleek Thomas said he had a conversation with Acuff before the season about the importance of working together. "When you're genuinely happy for your brother... you get enjoyment out of seeing him dominate and do well." #Arkansas #WPS

Earlier this spring, Little Rock Trojan Baseball pitcher Malcolm Brown was planning to give up baseball and get a job to support his family. Coach Curry convinced him to finish school instead. Last night, on his son's 1st birthday, he had the game of his life: 5.1 IP, 1 ER, 3 K to beat LSU.

After today's 55-14 win, Harding Football Head Coach Paul Simmons had some words for the flexbone haters of the world: "People love to attack the flexbone because it's not cool, it's not fancy... Running the flexbone is pretty good if you care about winning." #D2FB @ReportOption

On the final play from scrimmage, Jaylen Raynor connected with Corey Rucker for a game-winning TD. The question: Was it actually a catch?? Judge for yourself. #FCS #UCA #AState

"It's kind of why you do it." #Warriors G Steph Curry is in #Arkansas for the 1st time, alongside his teammate and NLR Grad Moses Moody. Curry helped hold a basketball camp, answered Qs and hopped in on some drills. He talked about being connected to a state he's never been:

"If I was the fans, I'd be mad at me, too... Hell, I'm mad at me, to be perfectly honest." Here's Sam Pittman's full response to Brandon Marcello's question about how he would respond to fans calling for his job. #Arkansas #Razorbacks #WPS

In a world of opt-outs where bowls are being devalued, Butch Jones says seeing his team lock up a bowl game against App State was one of the most rewarding victories of his career. "Watching the joy, the celebration... That's what college football is all about." #AState

Tag Andrews is the proof of concept for what Little Rock Trojan Baseball tried to do in the portal this past offseason. Not getting enough innings? We have plenty. Not getting enough ABs? Come take your hacks. Who knows? Maybe you end up as OVC Tournament MVP.

What a fitting end to the high school sports season tonight in Hot Springs. Tied with Benton, 2-2, Farmington's Piper Gardenhire delivered the game-winning hit in the bottom of the 7th to win the Lady Cardinals a 5A State Championship. #ARPreps

For the first time since 2022, Henderson State Football will be led by a new starting QB. Former #Arkansas pitcher and Bryant standout Austin Ledbetter will get the nod for the Reddies after transferring to HSU last year. Ledbetter never lost a game as a starter at Bryant.

INSIDE THE LOCKER ROOM: Listen to Harding Football Head Coach Paul Simmons' (Paul Simmons) pregame message to his team ahead of the Bisons' first round matchup with NWMSU. The Bisons jumped out to a 24-7 lead and beat the Bearcats for the first time in program history. #D2FB

You can read Coach Curry's lips: "You just shocked the baseball world." Little Rock Trojan Baseball has taken down No. 6 LSU, 10-4, to force a winner-takes-all regional championship Monday. #LittleRocksTeam

Caught up with the Little Rock Trojan Baseball Trojan fan who has been front and center all postseason, Michael Gastman. He's enjoying his son, Brett Gastman's final ride through college baseball. "We are just having a blast. We're looking for one more win."

The No. 6 player in the state of Arkansas has committed to Kansas. Coach Anthony Robinson running back Trey Stewart (Trey Stewart) chose the Jayhawks over the Hogs in a ceremony this afternoon. "[I'm gonna] make a name for myself and represent the state, even in a different state."
