Congratulations Sr. Squad on finishing in the Top 16 at State!

This journey began with hundreds of teams across four regions competing for a spot among the top 64 squads in the state. Earning a place at the State Tournament is an accomplishment in itself, but finishing the season in the Top 16 is a true testament to the talent, dedication, and hard work each of you has shown throughout the year.

While the season may not have ended with a trophy, your commitment, perseverance, and teamwork have made us incredibly proud. You represented Smackover Trap Team with class and determination every step of the way.

Congratulations on an outstanding season and a Top 16 finish in the State of Arkansas! We couldn’t be more proud of each and every one of you. 🧡🖤🤍

Joseph Brown still doing it the right way, all day, everyday! Thanks Joe! ❤️

Joe Brown did an amazing job representing the Buckaroos tonight. Even though Arkansas lost the game by a score of 17-18, Joe played very well scoring a huge touchdown in the 2nd quarter. Joe was a class act and showed everyone what Smackover kids are about. Thanks to Joe for his career as a Buckaroo and being a great ambassador of Bucks Nation.
