State economic development officials often tout Arkansas as the birthplace of entrepreneurism though a new report makes it clear there is still work to do to sustain that claim.
Professional basketball is back in Shreveport as the Shreveport Mavericks have released their 2021 schedule.
The team, now a member of The Basketball League, held its Media Day Monday, allowing local media its first opportunity to meet the new-look Mavericks.
As a member of the ABA, the franchise never lost a game in Shreveport on their way to back-to-back national championships. Long-time head coach Steve Tucker still expects his team to compete for a championship, but warns there may be a few more bumps in the road this time around, The Mavericks of old were a battle-tested, championship team when we were in Shreveport. This is a very young team. We ve got a lot of rookies on this team, more than half our roster is rookies. I m not comfortable with that but we are very, very talented. I encourage the fans to be patient with us because I think we will get there and we ll be the Mavericks of old somewhere down the line.
