The Pantherettes opened up an 8 to 1 lead to start the game but the Lady Eagles came back, and the two teams swapped leads throughout the 2nd quarter before the end of the 1st half coming to an end with a 20-20 tie. In the 2nd half the Lady Eagles built up to a 6-point lead which they would hold onto throughout the 3rd quarter, but in the 4th quarter the Pantherettes began chipping away at the lead and finally tied the game at 40 with 6.7 seconds left in the game. Cambrey McCullough took what looked to be the last shot of regulation from three-point range with 3.2 seconds left in the game and missed but Adaysiah Thompson fought for the rebound and put up a prayer off the glass. As the siren sounded and time officially expired the ball dropped through the net and the Pantherettes pulled off the heart stopping victory 44-42 over the Lady Eagles. For the Lady Eagles, Jade Richardson led all scorers with (12) followed by Ashlen Gonzalez with (11), and Regan Richardson with (8). For the victorious Pantherettes, Adaysiah Thompson had (26) followed by (6) points by Cambrey McCullough, and (5) points a piece by Zakiah Rhone and Kenya Wilson. The excitement wasn’t over as in the nightcap game the Eagles came out determined to not let homecoming be completely spoiled and fought their way to a 44-41 victory over the Ashdown Panthers. Ashdown opened up a 6-point lead early in the game and looked like they were going to cruise to a victory but The Eagles came storming back in the 2nd quarter and took a 2-point lead into half time 21-19. In the 2nd half the Eagles built their own 6-point lead only to see it disappear to a 40-40 tie in late in the fourth, and it looked eerily similar too the Sr. Girls contest. However, the Eagles battled and Sophomore Center Coy Frachiseur stepped up with some huge plays to end the game blocking and causing turnovers. After a free-throw by Garrett Watkins gave the Eagles a 41-40 lead Ashdown came down the court and Lamar Wilkerson drove the left side of the lane to give them the lead, but Coy Frachiseur came up huge blocking the shot and taking possession and then taking the foul. Frachiseur then iced the game with 1.9 seconds left on the clock by hitting both free-throws and giving the eagles the final lead 44-41. Ashdown tried a desperation full-court 3-point shot that came up short and The Eagles saved homecoming night with heart stopping victory. For the Panthers, Kaiden Hunter led the scoring with (11), followed by Jimmy Dunn, Lamar Wilkerson and John Smith with (6) each. For the Eagles, Coy Frachiseur led the scoring with (15) followed by (13) by Cody Brown and (6) points a piece by Brayden Smith and Trenton Rosson.

2017 Rotary Cup Awarded to Hunter Earney
The presentation of the Rotary Cup has been a De Queen Leopards football tradition since 1936. At Monday’s noon meeting of the Club, “The Voice of the Leopards” Jay Bunyard presented the 2017 award to tailback and outside linebacker Hunter Earney.
Earney was named to the 2017 Class 5A All State Team as he rushed for 1,388 yards and 17 touchdowns on 202 carries. He’s the first Leopard to top the thousand yard rushing mark since 2011. Defensively, Earney recorded 55 tackles, and had a key interception return for a touchdown against Nashville. In the 49-42 upset win over the Scrappers, Earney also rushed for 292 yards and four touchdowns.
Earney was a member of the 2017 track team that won a state championship. He was all-conference in baseball, and he’s a member of this year’s Leopard basketball team.
Earney, the son of Chad and Chayla Earney, also excels in the classroom. He has a grade point average of 3.70, and he’s a member of the National Honor Society.
Bunyard says the award is based on four criteria: involvement in other sports and school activities; character and leadership; scholastic achievements; and performance on the football field.
After graduation in May, Earney plans to attend the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, and major in accounting.
Past recipients of the Rotary Cup include:
Farm Bureau Insurance is pleased to announce the winners for the 2017 Farm Bureau Insurance Awards.
