A team of 9th and 10th grade boys from Mena entered the annual Mothers Day Classic Hooplay Tournament in Hot Springs and ended the day as champions. The win by the traveling team in the championship game was most impressive as they beat a team from the Camden and El Dorado area that won a 16 and under AAU State Championship this year in Little Rock. “I could not have been prouder of our boys. They showed everyone there how classy they were in a couple of difficult situations and pulled off the big upset against a super talented team,” said Brian Harvey, coach of the team.
