PINE BLUFF – North Little Rock busted out of the gates in the first quarter and bore down in the second quarter to help clinch its spot in the finals of the King Bracket of the King Cotton Holiday Classic.
PINE BLUFF Little Rock Parkview had trouble holding on to the ball Monday against Fort Bend (Texas) Hightower, but the Patriots had no such issues taking it away.
When Go Forward Pine Bluff held a ceremony in October to reveal the teams that would be competing in this year's King Cotton Holiday Classic, tournament organizer Sam Glover was so overcome with excitement that he found himself grinning from ear to ear for several moments before ever uttering a word after stepping to the podium to address those in attendance at the city's Main Street Plaza.
