As most know in the Southwest Arkansas area I lost my Road Buddy Jerrold Merrick due to a tragic incident. He was a proud Bobcat Fan. For the past 13 years we hit High School games throughout the Ark-La-Tex. It's starting to hit me now as we get closer to kickoff. Things won't be the same in the old south end zone at Hammonds Stadium anymore. Jerrold was a All State Basketball player at Blevins High just north of Hope. He took his talents to Magnolia to letter as a SAU Mule Rider from 1981 to 1985. He worked at Firestone in Prescott for 17 years and gave those Curly Wolf fans the business as much as possible. He later changed jobs and worked at the Domtar Paper Mill in Ashdown for 13 more years. He treated the Ashdown folks the same as he did the Prescott folks. Needless to say I miss My Friend !!!  As he would always say,    "Those Bobcats might be tough this year"

Sorry for your loss Hoghead. It's rough to lose a close friend. We honor them by remembering them at those venues that were/are meaningful to us as you will undoubtedly do
