(2010)
Sixteen players from Faulkner County teams, the most in recent history, have earned all-state recognition in football by the Arkansas Activities Association. The honors were voted upon by the coaches in each conference. Conway High had five players named all-state, while Greenbrier had four, Vilonia had three, and Mayflower and Conway Christian had two each.
Almost 750 children will have a better Christmas because of the efforts of the Conway Optimist Clubâs Angel Tree project. Bicycles, skateboards and clothing were among the items given to the families of âangelsâ during a distribution at Hendrix College. The Optimists have been sponsoring the Angel Tree effort for 25 years, making sure that every child on the list provided by the Community Action Program for Central Arkansas (CAPCA) will get a present. Giving exceeded last yearâs effort by 100 more families and 150 more children.
