He placed 2nd in the indoor mile at the 1977-1978 NCAA Championships and 7th at the NCAA Cross Country. He became the first AR track athlete to win a conference event since 1967 and became John McDonnell's first SWC individual champion, winning the 880 in the 1974 NCAA Indoor Championships. Niall also placed 6th overall at the 1974 NCAA Indoor Championships, and earned All-American status 6 times during his stay at Arkansas. In 1976, he represented Ireland at the 1976 Olympics, and his Arkansas mile record of 3.55.40 still stands. Niall was inducted into the U of A Sports Hall of Honor in 1994.]]>
Brooks Robinson – Robinson was the Baltimore Orioles' third baseman for 23 seasons – 1955 – 77. He won 16 Gold Glove awards from 1960-75 for his fielding abilities and was voted the most outstanding player in the 1970 World Series.

Dean led the National league in shutouts (1932, 1934), in complete games (1933-1936), and in strikeouts (1932- 1935). Although his career was shortened by an injury suffered in the 1937 All-Star game, he still finished his career with 150 wins and 30 saves. When he retired, he earned an equal measure of fame as one of baseball's most colorful broadcasters and commentators. Dean was born in Lucas, near Booneville, on January 16, 1910 and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown in 1953.

The 12 new members inducted in the class of 2015 are:
It has been quite a year for Cliff Harris, especially when you consider that he last played football during the 1979 season.
The old Des Arc Eagle, Ouachita Tiger and Dallas Cowboy has been back in the news in a big way, and you can thank Little Rock's David Bazzel for much of that. Bazzel — the idea man who came up with the Golden Boot for the Arkansas-LSU game, the Frank Broyles Award and the Little Rock Touchdown Club – wanted a national football award to be presented at the Touchdown Club's annual postseason banquet.
Since it was founded in 2004, the Little Rock Touchdown Club has presented player and coach of the year awards in each high school classification. It also has given a most valuable player award for each college program in the state. Bazzel, who is always on the search for something new, was looking for something that would garner the club some national attention. He spent dozens of hours bouncing from website to website, trying to find a category that didn't already have an award. Everything was covered at the NCAA Division I level. Division II already had the Harlon Hill Trophy down in Florence, Ala., which since 1986 has been presented annually to the top player from that level.
However, there wasn't a major award for the top small college defensive player in the country. While driving from Siloam Springs to Little Rock on a hot day this summer, I spent more than an hour discussing the idea with David. He wanted to include nominees not only from Division II but also from Division III and the NAIA. He wanted to name the award after Cliff. And he wanted me to help convince Cliff that the Little Rock Touchdown Club does things in a first-class manner.
Cliff's father and my father played football together at Ouachita and our parents became close friends. Cliff's mother was a Henderson Reddie. A mixed marriage, in other words. Growing up a block from Ouachita's football stadium, I walked the sidelines as a water boy when Cliff played college football from 1966-69. Cliff's sister and my sister later attended Ouachita together.
When Cliff played for the Cowboys from 1970-79, we spent many weekends in Dallas watching Cowboy games. Tom Landry would require the players to stay in a hotel the night before a home game. Once the team moved from the Cotton Bowl at the Texas State Fairgrounds to Texas Stadium in Irving, the hotel of choice was the Holiday Inn Regal Row, which was stuck in a nondescript warehouse district in Irving. We would stay at the team hotel on Saturday nights and ride a bus to the games on Sundays.
George Bernard Shaw wrote that "youth is wasted on the young," and indeed I didn't fully appreciate all those Sundays in the 1970s as much then as I do looking back now. It was a great opportunity for a boy like me from a small town in Arkansas to be around those players and coaches. That was a golden era for the Cowboys as the team went to five Super Bowls in a 10-year period. Not only were the players famous, but Landry was already an icon. Even the general manager (Tex Schramm), the director of player personnel (Gil Brandt), the guy who played the national anthem on the trumpet (Tommy Loy) and the public address announcers (Bill Melton and James Jennings) were celebrities in those days.
Of all the players who have worn the Cowboy uniform through the decades, only 18 have been inducted into the Cowboys Ring of Honor. Cliff is among those honorees. He has continued to live in the Dallas area but still considers himself an Arkansan and is in the state often. Once the award was explained to him – and once he was comfortable that there would be a big-time effort to publicize it – Cliff was on board.
The creation of the Cliff Harris Award was announced during a Little Rock Touchdown Club meeting on Monday, Aug. 26. The club has had some famous speakers through the years, but never has there been so much talent on the stage at the same time. They had all come up from Texas to honor Cliff.
There was quarterback Roger Staubach, who played from 1969-79 and was a 1983 Ring of Honor inductee.
There was cornerback Mel Renfro, who played from 1964-77 and was a 1981 Ring of Honor inductee.
There was Charlie Waters, the other safety in the Cowboys secondary along with Cliff during the 1970s.
There was wide receiver Drew Pearson, who played from 1973-83 and was a 2011 Ring of Honor inductee.
There was Gil Brandt.
And there was Gene Stallings, Cliff's position coach with the Cowboys who went on to win a national college football title as the head coach at the University of Alabama.
It was a special day. Still, David didn't have a feel for how popular the award would be since it had never been given before. He was pleasantly surprised several weeks ago when nominations began to roll in from across the country. He was even happier when, after the list of 100 finalists was unveiled, athletic websites at dozens of colleges and universities featured stories about the Cliff Harris Award.
David also was pleased with the trophy – anyone who has ever seen the Golden Boot and the Broyles Award knows that David goes for big and heavy – which was unveiled in Arkadelphia on Nov. 16 at halftime of the Battle of the Ravine. A record crowd packed every nook and cranny of Ouachita's outdated A.U. Williams Field that day. With the University of Arkansas football team open, the rivalry received unprecedented statewide media attention. The game itself was one for the ages. Henderson completed a second consecutive undefeated regular season with a 60-52 victory in three overtimes. Ouachita – which finished 7-3 and compiled its sixth consecutive winning season (the most consecutive winning seasons of any college program in the state) – received more positive exposure for its gallant effort against the heavily favored Reddies than it had received in any of its victories earlier in the season.
Cliff and David both went home happy that night. But the huge crowd, the lengthy concession lines, the overcrowded press box and more had convinced Ouachita officials that the time had come for something to be done to A.U. Williams Field. Within a couple of weeks, a donor who has so far remained anonymous had made a substantial contribution to Ouachita. Last Thursday, the Ouachita Board of Trustees voted to launch a 120-day campaign to match that lead gift. The playing field, which is in good condition, will remain the same. There will be new stadium seating, a new press box (I've broadcast Ouachita games from the same booth since 1978), new parking lots and other improvements.
There also will be a new name: Cliff Harris Stadium.
To cap it all off, the day after the Ouachita board made its decision, the Des Arc Eagles beat Bearden (which ironically is the hometown of Cliff's dad) in the Class AA semifinals and earned a spot in this weekend's state championship game at War Memorial Stadium.
Like I said, it has been quite a year for Cliff Harris.
"Super Bowls and Pro Bowls say a great deal about his contributions to the game, but what many don't know is the way he did it," says Ouachita head coach Todd Knight. "Hard work and the values he learned in the Ouachita football program make him unique. Cliff is a great representative of the game of football."
Cliff was born in Fayetteville, spent his formative years in Hot Springs and graduated from high school at Des Arc after his father was transferred there by Arkansas Power & Light Co. prior to Cliff's senior year in high school. He played multiple sports growing up but received little interest from college recruiters. Some Harris family friends convinced second-year Ouachita head coach Buddy Benson that Cliff deserved a chance to play college football, and Cliff made a name for himself in the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference in the late 1960s.
Cliff was overlooked in the 1970 NFL draft, but Brandt was well aware of the player at the small school in Arkadelphia. Cliff, in fact, won a starting position with the Cowboys as a rookie in 1970. His rookie season was interrupted by a tour of duty in the U.S. Army, but he wasted no time regaining his starting position following his military commitment.
During the next decade, Cliff Harris changed the way the position of free safety was played in the NFL. He rarely left the field, often leading the team not only in interceptions but also in yardage on kickoff and punt returns. In his 10 years as a Cowboy, Cliff not only played in those five Super Bowls but also was named to the Pro Bowl six times and was named a first-team All-NFL player for four consecutive seasons by both The Associated Press and the Pro Football Writers Association. He was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1985, was named to the Dallas Cowboys Silver Season All-Time Team and was selected by Sports Illustrated as the free safety on the magazine's All-Time Dream Team. He later was awarded the NFL Alumni Legends Award.
Through tenacity, perseverance and old-fashioned hard work, Cliff overcame numerous obstacles in his football career to become one of the best defensive players in the history of the game. Now, he has a major national award and a college football stadium named after him. I just wish his parents, both of whom are deceased, were around to enjoy the moment.
O.J. "Buddy" Harris often was described by my father, who saw a lot of football, as the toughtest player he ever knew. Buddy Harris, a pilot during World War II, was shot down and left floating in the ocean at one point. He was tough and tenacious, just like his kids (Cliff's younger brother Tommy played for the Razorbacks in the 1970s). By the time Cliff began playing for the Cowboys in 1970, "Buddy" Harris was having a difficult time finding him on the field due to complications from diabetes.
"Cliff Harris keeps several images of his father close to his heart," Kevin Sherrington wrote in The Dallas Morning News. "Linebacker and center at Ouachita Baptist; P-38 Flying Cross; educated, disciplined, upbeat husband and father of three. And then there's this, too: O.J. Harris, his face inches from a TV screen, making out fleeting shadows. O.J. had first learned he had diabetes through a routine physical. The diagnosis washed out his plans to be a test pilot. But he did as he was told, gave himself insulin shots daily and never complained. And diabetes took his sight at 50. … Cliff didn't think much about it back then. He was too caught up making and keeping his position with the Cowboys. Cliff says he is who he is because of his father. He figures he still owes him."
Cliff also is who he is because of his mother. Margaret Harris wasn't famous like her oldest son, but the redheaded lady known around our house as Big Margaret (so as not to be confused with her daughter, Little Margaret) should have been famous. Don't let the term Big Margaret confuse you. She wasn't a big woman in a physical sense. It was her personality that was big. Margaret Harris died in October 2009 at age 83. My dad always claimed that Little Margaret was a better athlete than either Cliff or Tommy. He enjoyed telling the story of how Cliff made his own high-jump pit in the backyard when the family lived in Hot Springs. Cliff tried all afternoon but couldn't clear the bar. Little Margaret cleared it on her first try. Big Margaret loved it when my dad would tell that story.
Big Margaret, a Glenwood native, would cross the ravine from Henderson and marry a Ouachita football player. When the Harris family moved to Des Arc, my mother's hometown, they wound up living in the house next to my grandparents. Arkansas is a small place, isn't it? After "Buddy" Harris lost his sight, Big Margaret cared for him for years without a complaint. She was always upbeat. In the words of her obituary, "Her devotion to her husband was an inspiration to all those around her." She had taken her marriage vows seriously – every word of them.
Big Margaret had given up a potential singing career to marry "Buddy" in February 1946, though her voice would continue to bless the churches she attended through the years. During her funeral service at the Piney Grove United Methodist Church near Hot Springs, there was much talk about her singing abilities. Her strong voice also was effective in questioning the calls of football officials from the stands. She wasn't shy about questioning a coach, be it Buddy Benson, Frank Broyles or Tom Landry. Being a redhead myself, I always admired her redheaded feistiness.
I most admired the way she cared for her husband and remained true to her friends. When my father was in the hospital, she would call our house each day for an update on his condition. She was one of those ladies who make living in Arkansas such a pleasure.
When they dedicate Cliff Harris Stadium next fall, I have no doubt that "Buddy" and Big Margaret will be there in spirit. I also have no doubt that Cliff will be thinking about them on that day.

Harding, the chief executive officer of the Little Rock-based investment banking firm Crews & Associates Inc., grew up at Clarendon, a historic east Arkansas city on the banks of the lower White River.
Clarendon, which is located near where the Cache River flows into the White River, was first settled in the late 1700s by French hunters and trappers. They recognized the bounty that came from those two slow-moving rivers and the surrounding bottomland hardwood forests. Clarendon's importance increased in the 1820s when the builders of the Military Road from Memphis to Little Rock chose it as the White River crossing point. A ferry was operating there on a regular basis by 1828.
When Monroe County was created out of parts of Arkansas and Phillips counties in November 1829 by the Arkansas Territorial Legislature, Clarendon was chosen as the county seat. It remains so to this day. The town became an important port for cotton and other commodities. A factory was established to produce buttons from the millions of mussel shells found in the rivers. The hardwood forests were harvested for lumber. Some of that wood was used to make baseball bats for a time in the early 1900s at the Moss Brothers Bat Co.
Rush Harding still loves Clarendon. That love is evident to anyone who has ever visited with him.
As a boy, Harding thrived there. He hunted, fished, swam and played multiple sports. An upscale restaurant that the Harding family will open New Year's Eve in Little Rock will be named Cache in honor of the area where Rush Harding spent his boyhood.
"I thought Clarendon was the Garden of Eden," Harding says as he sits in his office high atop the First Security Building in downtown Little Rock's River Market District. "We were Methodists and never missed church. And I never missed an athletic event in town. If I wasn't playing in it, I was attending it with my dad."
Harding's father, a legendary coach who went by the name of Buddy, was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of the almost four decades he worked with high school athletes. The elder Harding, whose football teams were 151-57 at Clarendon, also built the school into a track powerhouse. The seventh-grade teams were called the Alley Cats. The junior high teams were the Cubs. The high school teams were the Lions.
His father's work ethic was transferred to Rush Harding, who hasn't missed a day of work for being sick in the past 37 years. Harding also has been active in the community. He's a past president of the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame and continues to serve on the Hall of Fame board. He also has served on the University of Central Arkansas Board of Trustees and on the board of the Arkansas Arts Center.
The Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame will honor Harding when it holds its annual fall salute on Thursday, Oct. 24. The event will begin at 6 p.m. in the Jack Stephens Center on the campus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
This will be the fifth consecutive year for the Hall of Fame to put on a fall salute. Past honorees are Conway businessman Stephen L. Strange Sr., former University of Arkansas basketball star Joe Kleine, former University of Arkansas football star Jim Lindsey and former University of Arkansas track and field coach John McDonnell.
"My dad coached through my ninth-grade year, and then the principal's job came open," Harding says. "He had wanted to coach me all the way through high school, but the increased salary was important to our family. My mom was the guidance counselor and the home economics teacher. With two teachers in the family, you just couldn't turn down a big pay increase."
Clarendon went 5-5 in football during Harding's sophomore and junior seasons. Ronnie Kerr, who later would become a head coach on the college level at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, came to town in the fall of 1971 for Harding's senior year. With Kerr as the coach and Harding as the quarterback, Clarendon compiled an 8-2-2 record. The only losses were in the first game to Augusta, which was coached by east Arkansas icon Curtis King (a 1980 Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame inductee), and in the final game to Walnut Ridge in the semifinals of the state playoffs. The tie games were against Brinkley and Carlisle.
"We tied Brinkley 7-7, and I threw two touchdown passes," Harding says. "I threw an interception to Brinkley's Jerry Eckwood, which he took all the way for a touchdown. I threw the other touchdown pass to Gary Cook on our team."
Eckwood went on to become a football star at the University of Arkansas.
Cook went on to play a role in a major decision in Harding's life."
"Gary wanted to go to West Point and play football for Army," Harding says. "He talked me into going to West Point with him. People told us that it would be unheard of for two boys from the same school to get appointments to the U.S. Military Academy, but we did. That was Gary's dream, not mine, but I decided to go along."
During the summer prior to his senior year, Harding was elected governor of Arkansas Boys State, a week-long summer program in civics that's sponsored by the American Legion. A year later, he would hand the gavel over to the new Boys State governor, a high school student from Hope named Mike Huckabee.
During their senior year, Harding and Cook were the co-valedictorians at Clarendon High School.
In late May, three days after the graduation ceremony, Harding received word that Cook, who lived near the small community of Monroe, had drowned. He had been swimming in a rice irrigation ditch. It was Coach Ronnie Kerr who took Harding that awful day to the scene of the accident.
Heartbroken, Harding reported to the U.S. Military Academy on June 15 for the start of a grueling summer as a plebe.
"I had wanted to go to UCA, not West Point," Harding says. "But people I respected said that I had received a coveted appointment and needed to follow through. I decided to prove that I could do it. They would haze the plebes in those days, but I stuck it out. I reported for football but frankly was too slow to play at that level. The coaches suggested that I join the sprint football team."
Army has a rich football tradition with three national championships, three Heisman Trophy winners and 26 Hall of Famers. The sprint football team, which has been around since 1957, has a tradition of its own.
Few Arkansans even know there is such a sport. What's now known as the Collegiate Sprint Football League was started in 1934 by George Little of Rutgers. The league's seven charter members were Cornell, Lafayette, Rutgers, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Villanova and Yale. Yale and Lafayette disbanded their programs at the start of World War II. Play was halted for all schools from 1943-45 due to the war.
In 1946, the U.S. Naval Academy joined the conference and dominated play until the Black Knights came along 11 years later. In its first six years in the league, Army put together a 32-3-1 record and won four titles. After a losing season in 1963, the Black Knights won 17 of their next 18 games. Army had 21 consecutive victories between 1972, when Harding played, and 1975.
The rules of sprint football are largely the same as varsity football. Four days prior to a game, though, all sprint football players must weigh in at 172 pounds or less. They must weigh in again two days before a game. Scouting opponents is forbidden, and practice cannot start until three weeks before the first game.
Harding enjoyed playing sprint football. His heart, however, wasn't in finishing school at West Point without Cook and then serving as an Army officer.
"I started my sophomore year that next summer, but I was miserable," Harding says. "I didn't want to become a career military officer. I had spent some time in Conway with friends and decided that I wanted to be a real college student and do the kinds of things most college students do. So I resigned my commission at West Point and enrolled in college at Conway."
The Bear football team had an outstanding quarterback named Sam Coleman coming in. Harding knew he would never start at quarterback in the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference. He decided instead to join the basketball team, which was coached by Don Nixon, who was inducted earlier this year into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame.
"I mainly sat by Coach Nixon and kept the shot charts," Harding says. "I wasn't eligible the first semester. I did play a bit during the next semester. It was a great experience for me. I got to be around guys like James Dickey, Joe Couch and John Hutchcraft."
After playing basketball during the 1973-74 season, Harding decided to concentrate on his studies. He graduated in 1976, having majored in math and English. The son of a coach, Harding had once thought he too would teach and coach. He had, after all, grown up around coaches and sports. His Thanksgivings were spent attending Clarendon's rivalry games against Holly Grove. His summer memories were of attending the annual coaches' clinic and the all-star football practices in early August with his dad.
"My father knew how to connect with young people," Harding says. "To be honest with you, I was kind of scared of Daddy, but I always knew he loved me. My mom was the nurturer and the encourager. My dad was the boss. No one in Clarendon ever challenged his authority. Yeah, he was the boss."
Harding's father had lined up a job for him teaching and coaching at Forrest City at a salary of $8,400 a year.
"I just couldn't make the math work in my head," Harding says. "I didn't know how I could live on that. I was in Little Rock one night and a guy asked me what I would do with $12,000. I thought he meant $12,000 a year and told him that would be wonderful. He said, 'I'm talking about $12,000 a month selling bonds.' I decided to give it a try. They would pay me $450 a month plus commissions. I asked my dad for a loan of $300 to rent an apartment, and he wouldn't do it. I had to go to the bank and get a loan."
Few people have ever outworked Rush Harding, the overachiever who had been Boys State governor, an Eagle Scout and the high school valedictorian. He joined T.J. Raney & Sons Inc. of Little Rock and, through hard work, soon was experiencing financial success.
"I had never taken a business class," Harding says. "Things just worked out. When Bob Raney Sr. died in 1979, seven of us left the company and went out on our own."
Adron Crews, John Bailey, Rick Chitwood, Jim Jones, James Lake, Rob Owens and Harding formed Crews & Associates.
Crews died in May 1996 while on a business trip to New Orleans. In 2000, Crews & Associates became a wholly owned subsidiary of First Security Bancorp.
When Rush Harding was a boy, his father would take him on his birthday in late July to Spaulding Sporting Goods in downtown Little Rock to buy baseball bats from Lee Rogers. Harding has vivid memories of visiting with Rogers, who had starred in multiple sports at the University of Alabama and settled in Little Rock after having pitched for Doc Prothro's Little Rock Travelers. Rogers was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 1983.
Not only birthdays revolved around sports for Rush Harding. So did the other days of the year.
Sports have remained important in Harding's life. In 1986, Harding's father retired from school administration. His parents moved to Little Rock so they could watch Rush Harding's sons, Buddy and Payne, grow up and participate in sports.
"Team sports have been a top influence on my life, and that's because of the relationships I've had with teammates and coaches," Rush Harding says. "One of the best compliments I ever received came from J.B. Grimes, who was a year behind me at Clarendon and went on to be a college football coach. I wasn't the greatest athlete to ever come through that school, but J.B. once said to me: 'You were a leader. You led our team.' Participation in sports made me a better husband, a better friend and a better employer. In a sense, I'm still kind of a quarterback. I like to have a positive impact on the young people who work here. I do a lot of coaching down here at this office each day."
Harding's son Buddy recently had a son. The baby's name: Rush Harding V.
The grandfather isn't quite ready to slow down.
"I got certified to teach several years back because I figured that I would get out of the business by this age," says the man who will be honored later this month by the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame. "I later decided to stick with this. We have about 250 employees who are my teammates. I didn't take that job my dad got me at Forrest City all those years ago, but I'm still teaching and coaching. It's just not in a classroom or on the sideline."

The Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame will hold its annual fall salute on Thursday, Oct. 24, when the organization honors one of the state's top business and civic leaders, Rush Harding of Little Rock.
The event will begin at 6 p.m. in the Jack Stephens Center on the campus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock.
Those wishing to purchase tickets should call the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame at (501) 663-4328. Tickets are $125 each with tables of eight available for $1,000.
All proceeds will go to the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame. Harding is a longtime member of the organization's board. Ray Tucker is the Hall of Fame's executive director. The president is Arkansas Democrat-Gazette sports editor Wally Hall.
"Few people have done more for the Hall of Fame through the years than Rush Harding," Tucker said. "We're just one of the many Arkansas organizations he has supported with his time and talents. Rush has friends in all 75 counties of this state and is a worthy honoree."
Harding is the chief executive officer of the Little Rock-based investment banking firm Crews & Associates Inc. Harding and six partners founded the company in 1979. He has more than three decades of experience in the industry and is recognized as a leading authority on municipal bonds. In addition to serving on the board of the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame, Harding has served on the University of Central Arkansas Board of Trustees and on the board of the Arkansas Arts Center.
Harding is a Clarendon native. His father, Buddy Harding, was inducted into the Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame in 2002 in recognition of the almost four decades he worked as a successful high school coach. His football teams were 151-57 at Clarendon. The elder Harding also built Clarendon into a track powerhouse.
After graduating from Clarendon High School in the spring of 1972, Rush Harding received an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy. He later transferred to what's now UCA, graduating from college in 1976 as a math and English major. Though his father had found him a job coaching and teaching school at Forrest City, Harding decided to try the investment banking business, joining T.J. Raney & Sons Inc. in Little Rock. He worked there until he left in 1979 to help form Crews & Associates with Adron Crews and the other partners. Since 2000, Crews & Associates has been a wholly owned subsidiary of First Security Bancorp.
This will be the fifth consecutive year for the Hall of Fame to hold a fall salute. Past honorees were Conway businessman Stephen L. Strange Sr., former University of Arkansas basketball star Joe Kleine, former University of Arkansas football star Jim Lindsey and former University of Arkansas track and field coach John McDonnell.
The Arkansas Sports Hall of Fame inducted its first class in 1959.
The Hall of Fame Museum on the west side of Verizon Arena in downtown North Little Rock is open each Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. It includes an 88-seat theater with a video highlighting the careers of Arkansas sports greats and a touch-screen kiosk with a database of all Hall of Fame inductees.

In 1968, Wadie Moore Jr. began working as a sportswriter for the Arkansas Gazette. High school football was a much different sport then than it is now. For one thing, segregation was just starting to end across the state. Towns in east, central and south Arkansas that long had had a black high school playing football and a separate white high school playing football were fielding their first integrated teams.
Moore would remain at the Gazette until it ceased publication in October 1991. For years, he was the go-to media source for everything having to do with high school football in Arkansas. His weekly predictions and rankings were anxiously awaited by players and their parents across the state.
The changes Moore has seen since 1968 go beyond integration.
"The equipment is far better now than when I started covering sports in 1968," says Moore, who now helps oversee high school football in the state as the assistant executive director of the Arkansas Activities Association. "I recently looked at some football gear and actually wondered for a moment how to put it on. There have been a lot of changes and there will continue to be equipment changes for safety reasons. The biggest equipment change has been in the design of the helmet.
"Another major change is officiating. Officials are more knowledgeable these days because of their desire to move up in the ranks. Arkansas has its fair share of officials working on the professional and college levels. Most of them got their start working high school football games. They became students of the game. The majority of today's officials also are in excellent shape."
By the 1972 football season, with integration almost complete, there were five classifications in Arkansas high school sports. The largest was Class 4A. Its members were North Little Rock Ole Main, North Little Rock Northeast, Little Rock Hall, Little Rock Catholic, Little Rock Central, El Dorado, Fort Smith Northside, Pine Bluff and Little Rock Parkview. There were no schools in the northwest corner of the state in that largest classification in 1972.
Class 3A consisted of two eight-team conferences. Then there were Class 2A, Class A and Class B. There were 184 schools playing football in 1972. Among the football teams in 1972 that are no longer around were North Little Rock Northeast, Fort Smith St. Anne's Academy, Hughes, Altheimer, Eudora, Cotton Plant, Rector, Holly Grove, Lewisville, Delta, Grady, Gould, DeValls Bluff, Arkansas School for the Deaf, Altus, Gillett, Wabbaseka, Bradley and Glenwood.
There are now seven high school athletic classifications with football played in six of them. The state has 211 schools that field football teams. Current football teams that weren't around in 1972 include Rogers Heritage, Springdale Har-Ber, Little Rock Christian, Shiloh Christian in Springdale, Brookland, Cave City, Arkansas Baptist in Little Rock, Central Arkansas Christian in North Little Rock, Melbourne, Episcopal Collegiate in Little Rock, Riverview, Cedarville, Centerpoint, Fountain Lake, Cedar Ridge, Hackett, Hartford, Hector, Magazine, Union Christian Academy in Fort Smith, Western Yell County, Westside Johnson County, Bigelow, Conway Christian, Cutter Morning Star, Jessieville, Two Rivers, Poyen, Quitman, Palestine-Wheatley, Spring Hill, Parkers Chapel and Woodlawn.
With websites, blogs, magazines, television programs, radio shows and more dedicated to the sport, the interest in Arkansas high school football is greater than ever before. The staff at Little Rock's War Memorial Stadium now considers the two December weekends when the six state championship games are played – three games are played one weekend and three games are played the next weekend – to be the stadium's signature events along with the two University of Arkansas home games that are played in Little Rock.
The high school football season often is referred to as the Road to the Rock.
"Hosting the state championship football games is a great privilege for us and a highlight of our schedule of events," says Little Rock attorney Kevin Crass, the chairman of the War Memorial Stadium Commission. "Every team in the state begins the season with the goal of getting to the Rock. It's fun to watch as champions are crowned and memories are made."
There has been a distinct shift in the center of gravity from the Little Rock area to Northwest Arkansas when it comes to the most powerful programs.
Robert Yates began working part time at the Arkansas Democrat in 1983. He became a full-time employee of the newspaper in 1985 and has continued to work as the lead high school football writer for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Yates has had a front-row seat for three decades to watch that geographic shift.
"Because of explosive growth in Northwest Arkansas, Bentonville, Fayetteville and Springdale Har-Ber are now what Little Rock Central, Little Rock Parkview and Little Rock Hall were in, say, 1980," he says. "Bentonville, for example, was the smallest school in the state's largest classification in the late 1980s and early 1990s with 751 students in the 1991-93 cycle used by the Arkansas Activities Association. Bentonville was so small compared to the other schools in the largest classification that it played as an independent in 1989 and 1990 rather than compete in the then-4A-West. Now, Bentonville will be the state's largest school for the third consecutive cycle in 2014-16 with 2,877 students based on the Arkansas Activities Association figures that are used to classify the state's 16 largest schools."
Yates says high schools in Northwest Arkansas have taken full advantage of the region's growth.
"The Class 7A-West, in particular, is like a high school version of the Southeastern Conference with schools building the best facilities, having the largest coaching staffs and the biggest rosters. Northwest Arkansas schools were also ahead of the competition in their style of play with wide-open spread schemes on offense and progressive thinking."
The Northwest Arkansas high schools further outpaced the competition with the facilities they built, the coaches they hired and the things they did during the offseason.
Yates gives a few examples: "In 2001, Springdale became the first school in the state to play on artificial turf at an on-campus venue. Team camps are the rage across Arkansas during the summer these days, but a handful of schools in Northwest Arkansas were traveling to Tulsa for team camps by 2000 and facing national powers such as Tulsa Union and Jenks, Okla.
"Greenwood wanted a topnotch football program when it hired Rick Jones in January 2004. He doesn't teach any classes, but the school has certainly gotten what it paid for. He has a 107-16 record going into this season, seven conference championships, six state championships and a 38-game winning streak entering the 2013 season. Barry Lunney has a similar setup at Bentonville, which has won two state championships since 2008 and has won 35 consecutive regular-season games since 2009."
Yates points out that Bentonville had the worst facilities in Class 7A-West before Lunney arrived in 2005. Then, the school built its athletic complex.
"It looks like something on a college campus," Yates says. "What will be interesting to follow in the coming years is how well smaller public schools in Northwest Arkansas compete on a statewide level. Programs like Farmington, Gravette, Prairie Grove and Pea Ridge in Class 4A have made noise in recent seasons and probably will continue to flourish as more families move to Northwest Arkansas. Those schools also are positioned to scoop up players who transfer for one reason or another from schools in Fayetteville, Rogers and Springdale."
Pea Ridge moved into the 45,166-square-foot Blackhawk Multi-Purpose Facility in the fall of 2011 and will play in a new stadium this fall. The indoor facility at Pea Ridge includes a 65-yard field, a 6,600-square-foot weight room, three locker rooms, a training room, a video room and offices for the coaches. The new Blackhawk Stadium will feature an artificial playing surface.
"Who would have imagined in 1980 that Pea Ridge would have better facilities than Little Rock Central, Little Rock Parkview and Little Rock Hall?" Yates says.
Down in the southwest corner of the state, Jay Bunyard has called 287 consecutive live games on KDQN radio for the De Queen High School Leopards. That streak dates back to the 1987 season. Prior to that, Bunyard called numerous games on a tape-delayed basis. He now owns radio stations across the state. His radio group will air the games of 12 high school football teams this year, including Bentonville (99.5 FM), Shiloh Christian (105.3 FM), Berryville (107.1 FM) and Green Forest (1480 AM). Like Moore and Yates, Bunyard has watched the game change drastically.
"The major changes I've noticed through the years are the style of play, better safety precautions for athletes, longer travel to road games and the fact that football has become a year-round sport," Bunyard says. "When I first started broadcasting games, I can remember the late Coach Wayne Freppon at De Queen and the late Coach Lonnie Barron at Mena playing 48 minutes of field-position football. They were very conservative when it came to calling plays, waiting for the other team to make a mistake. You might see a 0-0 tie or a final score of 3-0 or 7-0. Teams now spread the field and try to get the ball into the hands of their best athletes at wide receiver. De Queen and Mena combined for 57 points last year. It's not uncommon these days to see a team score 60 or even 70 points in a high school football game."
As for the safety of the game, Bunyard says it had to change because "athletes are now bigger, stronger and faster. Collisions are more violent. But the helmets, pads and equipment are significantly improved. Major penalties are now called for leading with the helmet and horse-collar tackles. Coaches receive extensive training on hydration and how to spot problems in the extreme Arkansas heat."
Finally, there's the travel and the year-round nature of the sport.
"I can't remember traveling more than 90 minutes for a regular-season game years ago," Bunyard says. "That was good for the fans, and it was good for the players. It created some great rivalries. Last year, I drove three hours one way for conference games on two occasions. I'm not sure what the answer is, but it's certainly something that the Arkansas Activities Association should study.
"Football is no longer just a fall sport. There's spring practice along with summer team camps and seven-on-seven games during the summer. I don't know that this is necessarily a bad thing. It seems to be resulting in better college recruits coming out of Arkansas. But it does require more of a commitment from the players and their parents."
Journalist Nate Olson moved to Arkansas in 1998. He was the sports editor of the Pine Bluff Commercial for more than five years, edited the high school sports magazine Vype in central Arkansas and now edits the weekly publication Sync.
"The talent pool has increased considerably since I arrived in Arkansas," Olson says. "There were only a handful of Division I players that first season I was here, and the University of Arkansas only recruited a few of them. The state is now among the top 10 in the nation per capita in producing Division I football players. I credit spring football and seven-on-seven football for that change.
"The mindset about football has changed in this state. It was almost as if the administrators got together and decided that they wanted the state to be on par with the high school football that was being played in Louisiana and Texas. We still have a long way to go to reach that level, but Arkansas has made a name for itself with more high-profile recruits and nationally ranked programs. Administrators have invested in new facilities and paid the top coaches well. Those investments have paid off."
Down in De Queen, Bunyard says the one thing that hasn't changed about high school football is the passion of the fans. It's just that there are now more of those fans.
"Surveys show that more than 250,000 Arkansans will attend high school football games on Friday nights this fall," he says. "Rivalries that date back more than 100 years are now more intense than ever. There's still nothing better than high school football."

Historical Traveler Reviews Doubletree Hotel Omaha - Downtown
Lost It's Charm
This hotel has been left to the dogs. I'm surprised Hilton Hotels, who bought out the Doubletrees, allows this to happen. The hotel was remodeled and cleaned up about 5 years ago. We have stayed there a number of times since the remodel and totally enjoyed it. It used to be super clean and nice with good service. We had not stayed there for about one year and then we stayed there on February 15, 16th 2005. The place was absolutely gross. The pool was filthy and had alot of mold and slim growing on the deck and was loaded to the max with chlorine. The sauna was run down also. The rooms were filthy. The bath was only wiped down in the middle and the sides of the vanity were still dirty. The carpets in the room had a ton of dirt built up around the edges like they only vacuumed the middle of the room. Mold was growing on the tile grout in the bathroom shower. We watched the maid clean and she just used the towels you left on the floor to wipe down the toilet and sink area. Totally gross. The buffet was still good. The door man chased you around and gave you dirty looks because we did not want them to carry our three bags to and from our room. The place used to be first class, but is now low class. The newer Hilton at the Q West Center is sweet and better to stay in.
Tired in Omaha
I agree with the previous reviewers. This property feels tired and neglected. While the front desk is always nice, the warm cookies don't make up for saggy matteresses, threadbare sheets, and weak showers. The upside? I've alway get a good rate here, and it's a relatively short walk/shuttle bus ride to the Old Market. If you're a Hilton Hhonors member, I recommend checking out the either the new Hilton or the Hilton Garden. There both nicer properties and closer to the Old Market.
Cheap and clean
I echo the others who felt that this hotel was a blast from the past but I didn't have any problems or issues that really turned me off. The decor is a bit dated but the front desk staff was super friendly and check in was a breeze. The room was a standard king bed, desk, chair and TV armoire. This is a very affordable hotel and convenient to the Old Market area. If you are looking for a place to literally lay your head, close to downtown and convenient to 480 then this is it. If you want luxury this is definitely not for you.
If You Are Looking To Be Transported Back to 1974, Stay Here
Overall, the stay was fine.
The carpet in the room was BLACK with a 1970s design -- with your shoes off, you could truly feel how dirty the carpet was. The black carpet can also be found in the lobby.
The fan in the bathroom would shut off/on the entire time it was supposed to be on -- not that big of a deal, but annoying nonetheless.
Expect to pay $6 a day to park in their parking garage -- clean and felt safe in there.
The pool and workout room are right next to each other. The pool was FREEZING cold, and there was only a handful of running machines in the workout room (no free weights/weight lifting equipment).
Downtown Omaha is pretty much a dead-zone after dark -- unless you head to the Market (10-12 blocks away).
Front desk people were VERY nice.
A little old - but nice
I have stayed at this Doubletree several times on business. It is within walking distance (10-12 blocks) of the old market district. The food at the hotel is average but old market has great places! This place seemed like it needed a renovation (it was an old Red Lion hotel previously). The carpet looked old, etc. Overall, the service was good and the shuttle service was very accomodating. There is no need for taxis in Omaha with the way most hotels shuttle you around. I would suggest the Hilton Omaha before this one, but when they are full, this place does just fine.
Average Stay in Omaha
Stayed two nights (Sunday and Monday) at the Doubletree Downtown Omaha. The stay was adequate. The room was very large, but everything in it, especially the matress, linen, window coverings, carpetting, furniture, lamps, and coffee maker, looked like (or felt like) they should have been replaced years ago.
The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgable, and the food in the restaurant was excellent. The fitness center is misnamed: it is four unusable cardio machines in a cramped humid room near the pool.
OK Hotel, lousy location
This bland 70's style hotel is in downtown Omaha, which is mostly empty buildings and parking garages. The rooms, restaurants and bars are all acceptable, and have some nice views at night, but this town closes up shop at 5pm. It's close to the airport, and the major corporate headquarters of Omaha, but that's about it. If you find yourself in this town, it's a little better out west, but still no "urban nightlife"
On the upside, I wouldn't worry about being out in downtown Omaha after dark - the streets are so empty even the muggers are elsewhere.
Nice, if your short
Not a bad hotel. The shower was poor. Noozle was low (0kay if your under 5' 6") and the water pressure was very weak. Would not stay there again just for that reason.
Presidental Suite
I belive it is good hotel, but I stayed in the best room ($>400.00) and the picture on the tv was bad, room was outdated, and i felt i didnt get my moneys worth.
You Get What You Pay For
Omaha is a larger city than you think, and I believe that this Doubletree makes the city feel larger.
The Doubletree is a huge high-rise hotel and almost feels out of place there. Large rooms, attentive staff, and of course, the cookies.
Parking is a pain in the butt, however this place makes one feel priveledged in downtown Omaha.

Omaha zoo
... demonstrations/experiences to see because it was not the weekend. They seem to run a limited experience programme during the weekdays, but still charge the same price. I guess the trade off was a very quiet zoo experience. After the zoo we had dinner at Cheesecake Factory. We both had salads and we shared a 30th birthday cheesecake.

At Walmart we picked up a few other things - a Minion shirt Sam liked, some fresh strawberries and a few goodies for the road. We checked into the hotel, had a little sleep then dined in at Olive Garden. Sam got her favourite chicken marsala and I had a three pasta dish - very tasty. ...

Mac Miller makes sold-out Eagles Ballroom a massive party
There probably isn't a hip-hop show in Milwaukee this year that will offer as much bang for the buck as Mac Miller's concert Saturday night, in front of a sold-out Eagles Ballroom at the Rave.
Aside from the allure of the 21-year-old headliner, the Milwaukee date of Miller's Space Migration tour boasted four supporting acts, two of which — Earl Sweatshirt and Chance the Rapper — are among the most hyped up-and-coming MCs of 2013. »Read Full Article(3)

lets see BIG talk about a European partner m but ceo beens say the same #$%$ for a while, they will announce a new partner before the EOY IMO blah blah blah ceo blows a lot of smoke. Company has a nice pipeline but management and their OUTRAGOUS salaries are despicable
could be Redmile using their 18 million shares to manipulate the pps , so they could accumulate some more shares. TIme will tell. If the CEO retired this thing would double. Lets hope Redmile is looking to petition to have the CEo resign, just like aria did with their ceo.
Hey donsjoe3 will you be going to the shareholder meeting ? Maybe they will have reserved seating for us in the front row. Will you be driving or flying in ?
when was this job opening listed ? looks like they are gearing up to make some bank $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I still wont like the until we hit 100.00
hmmmm lets see, just go to the CC archives and listen to him tooting his horn about the "NEXT CATALYST " for ARRY and now he says " VALUE DRIVERS " same stuff different CC , he gets over 1.8 million in compensation ie stock options, salary , and other bonuses . He never buy shares of arry on the open market with his own money at least no SEC f-4 with his name on it. Arry sits at sub 5.00 and he just keep talking the pps should be sitting at 18.00 right now with all the " VALUE DRIVERS and UPCOMING CATALYST" right ronny ?Whats your next question ?
well he's still in charge, he's thinks he can keep collecting a HUGE salary while the shareholders take it in the rear, bottom line he doesn't care about anybody but himself. Its all about HIM !!!!!!!!
Ron RESIGN before they oust you out of the position, it like resigning in lew of termination . TAKE IT
the new upgrade will be when the ceo resigns, I cant wait to meet him at the share holders meeting
Hurry ron we need another CC to get this piece going again
I bet no partnership announcement again,,,,,, same bs as last time
cant wait to hear ronny
where ronny? I hope he doesn't stutter
where's the BIG PR ??? oh its sunday ceo is at church
That's how he treats his shareholders, I wonder if he is related to Ronald McDonald ?
I'm will to bet , ceo ron is going to drop the hammer on Monday Morning, hoping that todays pr will suck in some buyers...... that's how I fell, no integrity

New York's Roundabout Theatre Company says David Morse is to star in the world premiere of "The Unavoidable Disappearance of Tom Durnin" by Steven Levenson.
Additional casting will be announced soon, the company said.
The limited engagement is to begin May 31. Opening night is set for June 27 at the Laura Pels Theatre in the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre in Manhattan.
The show is to run through Aug. 25.
The Roundabout described the play as a "funny, raw and moving world premiere about the price we pay for defaulting on those we love.
"Tom Durnin did the time for his white-collar crime. Now, he's determined to win back the respect he believes he deserves -- even if that means ripping apart the new life his family has so carefully put together in his absence. Tom's son warily allows his father to camp out on his couch, hoping the man who let everyone down has finally turned a new page," the synopsis said. "After a lifetime of empty promises, can Tom find a place in a family that has worked so hard to move on without him?"
