The Arkadelphia Senior Football players were recognized with Badger Pride Awards at last month’s APSD School Board meeting. The 2022 Badgers went undefeated in the 7-4A Conference and reached the 4A State Semifinals. The seniors were honored for their contributions as they led the team to a great season. Seniors Allen Buckley and Broc Currey along with Coach Trey Schucker accepted the awards. Some players were unable to attend due to other athletic events scheduled. We are proud of Badger Football!
