Legacy Dominates Oden in Homecoming Games 10/06
Legacy Academy hosted Oden Timberwolves in Lockesburg for the academy’s 2024 Homecoming. Following Homecoming Ceremonies, the junior girls and both senior teams faced the Oden Timberwolves.
In senior boys action, the Warriors defeated Oden 76-63. The Legacy squad hit the floor hot, leading Oden 27-6 in the first quarter. The Warriors shot the lights out from behind the perimeter, hitting 5 for 7 in the first quarter alone and swishing a total of 13 three-pointers throughout the night. The Warriors were an impressive 50% from the three-point line for the contest. The teams matched up in the second quarter both scoring 17, while Oden outscored the home team, who faced a little foul trouble, in the second half.
The Warriors connected 56% of their shots overall and 72% from the free-throw line. All five of Legacy’s starters hit double digits, contributing to the team’s victory. Freshman Silas Lofton hit 5 of the team’s 13 three balls and led team scoring with 20 points and three steals. James Bartek followed giving the Warriors 17 points and five impressive assists. Jude Gallagher provided fourteen points and seven boards for the home team. Team captain Ozzy Toledano served up 13 points, followed by Manolo Vazquez with 12. It was a needed win for the Warriors, who have been injury-plagued this season and suffered their last three losses by just 1 possession.
In senior girls’ play, the Lady Warriors outdid Oden’s girls 54-32. Legacy’s girls outscored the Lady Timberwolves in all four quarters. The home team was 13 of 18 from the charity strip while Oden was only one for ten. Legacy also picked up 13 of their points in transition and 22 of them on Oden turnovers. The visitors were stronger in the paint, with more buckets there than the home team. The Lady Warriors had 10 steals, while Oden grabbed more rebounds than Legacy.
Senior and Homecoming Queen Oaklee Lofton wowed her court and the crowd with a stunning 41 points, 20 rebounds, 7 steals, and 5 deflections! Skylar Alexander hit double-digits and gave the Lockesburg girls 13 points.
Legacy’s teams hit the road this week to face Trinity Christian in Texarkana on Tuesday and Little Rock’s Flames on Friday.
LEGACY BATTLES EXCEL CHRISTIAN 12/03
Legacy Academy’s senior high basketball squads traveled to Paris, Texas on Tuesday to play Excel Christian. It was the first time for the girls’ teams to match up and the second this year for the boys. Excel’s boys bested the Warriors in a pre-season tournament earlier this year. This match-up proved to be a battle to the final buzzer.
The Lockesburg boys had a slow start allowing Excel to score 9 points before making their first shot. Down by twelve at the end of the first quarter required a lot of work for the rest of the game. The Warriors bested them by 7 in the second and went into half-time having closed Excel’s lead to five. Strong defense and penetrating the paint put the Warriors back in the game, taking the lead with two minutes to go. The Warriors held a 2-point lead with .07 seconds left on the clock. Despite tremendous defense, the home team hit a near-impossible buzzer-beater three-pointer to secure the win by 1. Manolo Vazquez led the Warriors with 28 points, followed by Jude Gallagher with 17 points and 11 rebounds. Ozzy Toledano gave the team 16 points, While James Bartek contributed 10 and grabbed 8 boards. #23, Kaiden Ward, led the home team with 28 points and 24 rebounds.
In senior girls’ action, the Lady Warriors took the lead out the gate providing a 36-15 lead at the half. They continued their domination in the third quarter but fatigue (or was it calling off the press?) seemed to allow for an Excel rally in the fourth quarter, where the home team outscored the Legacy girls 16-8. The Lady Warriors won with a final score of 61-43. The Lady Warriors ran an impressive press much of the game and scored 28 of their points on turnovers their defense forced. Oaklee Lofton gave the Lockesburg girls an impressive 36 points and 15 rebounds, as well as six steals and 5 deflections. Skylar Alexander followed, tying her season high with 22 points for the Lady Warriors. This makes the lady Warriors 13-2 for the season. Legacy’s teams will be back in action on Friday at their Homecoming v. Oden. The Homecoming Ceremony begins at 5p and the games will follow.
De Queen Senior Teams Sweep Genoa at Coliseum 12/03
Legacy Splits Games with Mount Pleasant Hawks 12/02
It was a big night of basketball Monday night in Lockesburg as Legacy Academy hosted Mount Pleasant Hawks, a private home-school program. All four teams played allowing junior girls, boys and senior girls and boys time on the floor.
In Senior girls action, the Lady Warriors secured a 56-47 victory in spite of a short bench from injuries and absences. The Lockesburg girls took a commanding lead of 24-12 in the first quarter but were outscored 16-12 by the Lady Hawks in the second. The second half was tight with the visitors besting by one in the third and the Lady Warriors by a bucket in the fourth. The Lady Warriors were 72% from the free throw line and made 17 of their points on forced turnovers. Oaklee Lofton had a double-double night with 40 points and 13 rebounds, while Skylar Alexander contributed 15 points for the girls. For Mount Pleasant H. Dublin scored 16 points, while P. Ruest contributed 13 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.
The Legacy senior boys lost a heartbreaker in overtime 85-83. The overtime was controversial in that the ref’s incorrectly only set the overtime for three minutes instead of the required four minutes. NFHS, HCAA, and AOA rules calls for overtime to be 1/2 the time of regulation quarters; in the case of senior high basketball that should be four minutes. An additional minute of play could have made a difference for the home team.
The visiting Hawks charged out the gate and finished the first quarter with a five point lead, while the Warriors had to pull senior Ozzy Toledano, who found himself in early foul trouble. The teams each scored 25 in the second quarter, with the Warriors performing strong from the 3 point line. The Lockesburg boys hit 10 from the perimeter, while Mount Pleasant only had one. It was in the paint that the Hawks dominated doubling the points made there over the Warriors. The teams were tied at the end of regulation and went into overtime. The game was tied with 1.8 second to go when a controversial foul was called against the home team allowing two made free throws to give the game to the visitors.
Manolo Vazquez led the Warriors with 32 points, followed by Silas Lofton with 18, and Jude Gallagher with 17. Gallagher secured 10 rebounds for a double-double night. James Bartek had 9 points and Ozzy Toledano added 7. Lofton hit 5 three pointers for the night, while Toledano and Bartek each gave the team two from outside the arch. #25 Charlie gave the Hawks 23 points and 9 rebounds, while #4 C. Caleb , provided the visitors 20 points and #21 Carter had 16 points and 13 rebounds.
In junior high play, the Lady Warriors junior girls won 22-17. Scoring was evenly distributed across the board with Myleigh Fry leading the way with 6 points. Izzy Ward added 4 points and 12 rebounds! Legacy’s junior boys had a strong start against an athletic Mount Pleasant team but fell apart in the second half losing 29-43. Silas Lofton led all scorers with 19 points, hitting 4 three pointers, while #2 Charlie H. led the visiting Hawks with 15 points.
The senior teams travel to play in Paris, Texas Tuesday night and host the Oden Timberwolves Friday for Homecoming. Homecoming Ceremonies will begin at 5pm with games to follow.
De Queen Boys Basketball Antlers Blue and Gold Classic Tournament 12/12-12/14
Ulyces Coto is Rotary Cup Recipient
The Rotary Cup has been presented annually to the Most Valuable Senior on the De Queen Leopards football team since 1936. Past winners of the award represent top students and athletes spanning over nine decades at De Queen High School.
At Monday’s noon meeting of the club, “The Voice of the Leopards” Jay Bunyard presented the award for the 2024 season to slot receiver/safety Ulyces Coto. He’s the 89th all-time recipient of the Rotary Cup.
Coto led the team in all-purpose yards in 2024 with 1,359. For his career, he rushed for 1,216 yards and was credited with 2,094 all-purpose yards and nine touchdowns. Defensively for his career, he was credited with 218 tackles, including a team-leading 103 tackles in his junior season. Coto was also credited with five tackles for loss, one sack, 33 passes defended, and he had a 40-yard “pick six” on the first series of this year’s Horatio game that propelled the Leopards to a 35-0 victory, snapping a 27-game losing streak and beginning a three-game winning streak. It was the football program’s first three-game winning streak since the 2009 season. He was named to the All-5A South Conference second team as sophomore, and first team as a junior, and as a a senior.
Coto also competes for the Leopards in track and baseball. He’s active in the Spanish Club, and he’s an executive producer for the DQTV sports program. The son of Miranda Coto, Ulyces plans to go to UA Cossatot after graduation in May, and earn a trade certificate.
Besides performance on the football field, The Rotary Cup is also based on character, leadership, scholastic achievements, and participation in other school activities.

Legacy Academy Hosts Elite Basketball Trainer Jason Otter 05/18-05/19
Lockesburg, ARK — On May 18-19, Legacy Academy hosted two days of elite basketball training for the Warriors and Lady Warriors Senior High teams. The two-day camp focused on developing handling skills, defensive positioning and movement, and offensive motion drills.
LA Warrior teams, having just completed the school year, headed straight back to the Warrior Gym on Saturday morning. The camp offered specialized training for the senior players, tailored specifically towards their playing styles and team composition. Already looking forward to the next season, Coach Chad Gallagher said, “We loved having Jason Otter with us. Small schools are challenged in their pool of athletes and in their depth of size and natural athleticism, therefore you must compensate through skill development, fundamentals, discipline and other equalizing factors. Otter is excellent at player development. We’re thinking long term in building a strong basketball program, not in just creating a winning season here and there. Investment like this will pay off for decades in an athletic program.”
Jason Otter is a former Division 1 player (Austin Peay University) and NBA trainer with 30+ years of experience. He learned at a young age that smart, hard work will ALWAYS beat talent, when talent doesn’t work hard. By developing drills and strategies with the everchanging game of basketball, we have seen our campers achieve major success. We have helped players reach their goal of playing in college, at all division levels, and even professionally (overseas and NBA).
