Pauschert inducted into Hall of Fame By Debbye Harrison Tommy Joe Pauschert of Carlisle was recently inducted into the National Dirt Late Model Hall of Fame in Florence, KY. He was one of the five member Class of 2020 whose induction was re-scheduled due to the COVID pandemic. The ceremony included a tribute to T. J’s accomplishments, presentation of the plaque showing his “10-4” racing car and a speech given by “The Arkansas Traveler” himself T. J. Pauschert. The room was filled with racing fans from across the country and old friends that were eager to get re-acquainted. Some of T. J.’s career awards include induction into the Oklahoma and Missouri Dirt Track Halls of Fame, in 1978 state championships in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Mississippi and the Southeastern Winter Nationals in Volusia Co, Florida. In 1985 he ran a good portion of

NDRA’s final tour and finished third. He was Rookie of the Year in 1988 for the USAC Late Model trail. Tommy started racing when he was 17, and there were dirt track races in most towns in Arkansas. For example, tracks were found in Des Arc, White County Speedway Garner, I-30 Speedway, Benton and Redfield. None of these tracks were required to

be standardized. They had different lengths from one-quarter mile to a mile and could be flat or banked. It really tested the skill of the driver. Although dirt track racing was found across most of the country, it was centered mainly in the South particularly Georgia and Alabama. He saw it all. After getting started with help from his dad

Carl and brother Carl Lee, T. J. and Wayne Brooks took racing to the professional level. It was still a very different sport from what we know today. Racers “back then” were one big family and helped one another. The fierce competition they engaged in on the track was left there. Many times they traveled the same circuit and shared parts, tools and experi-

ence. There was no “Hollywood” behind those wheels. After 21 years of racing and making friendships that were more like family, Tommy Joe decided to retire. In 1991 he sold his equipment and returned home to manage his trucking business leaving one family to go back to the other. Unknowingly however, The Hall of Fame Induction brought the two families together. Phone calls started coming from around the country. The “family” wanted him to know how proud they were, and many were there in person to give him a hug.

The focus groups will include administration teachers, students and classified staff. Next will be a community meeting and online survey. At the September 27th board meeting the board will review the information from the focus groups, the community meeting, and the online survey. The last day to accept applications will be October 19th. Once the applications have been received, Dr. Williams and his col-

Interim Superintendent Marc Sherrill will be replaced by a permanent school district superintendent when his contract expires on June 30th. leagues will review the applicants and will choose finalists for the board to interview based upon all the compiled information from the desired criteria, the focus groups, the community meeting and the survey.

ed, the board hopes to be able to choose a superintendent by the end of November. The new superintendent will begin working at the district on July 1, 2022 to prepare for the 2022-2023 school year.

No. 1 Eagles rout Patriots in season opener By Mark Buffalo Sports Editor The top-ranked Des Arc Eagles scored early and often in a 52-0 win over PalestineWheatley on Friday night at Hinson-Rollins Field. The Eagles finished as the 2020 Class 2A state runners-up. They are ranked first in the Arkansas Sports Media Class 2A state poll. “We are embracing it,” Des Arc coach B.J. Paschal said. “This year, we know we aren’t the underdog. We are playing, trying to live up to the expectations. We don’t want to let anybody down. Our motivation this year is to live up to those expectations.” Des Arc scored 36 first-quarter points. Jake Reidhar scored on a 59-yard with 11:42 left in the first quarter. The two-point conversion was no good. Trevion Reed then scored on a 23-yard run with 10:34 left. Reidhar scored the two-point conversion. Reidhar scored on a

22-yard run with 5:28 left. Kearby scored the two-point conversion. Kearby then returned an interception 30 yards for a touchdown with 5:16 left in the first quarter. Bari Rockins scored the twopoint conversion. Brock Devorak scored on a 12-yard run with 1:05 left. The Eagles scored once in the second quarter. Rockins scored on a 32yard run with 6:54 left in the first half. Devorak scored the two-point conversion. Cache Flanagan scored the final touchdown on a 9-yard run with 10:08 left in the game. Hayden Brown recovered a fumble in the end zone to score the two-point conversion. Devorak led the Eagles with 115 yards rushing. Kearby had 109. Reidhar finished with 80 yards. Rockins had 52 while Reed added 23. “The kids came out and played hard,” Paschal said. “With the temperature being as warm as it was, we were obviously con-

top of them pretty quickly. We played with high effort the rest of the ball game.”

Des Arc will look to improve to 2-0 this Friday when it plays at McCrory. The Jaguars

beat Hazen 24-12 in their season opener last Friday.

Jackrabbits overtake Bison in county rivalry By Mark Buffalo Sports Editor The Carlisle Bison smacked the Lonoke Jackrabbits in the mouth then the Jackrabbits came alive. Carlisle led 6-0 after one quarter before

Lonoke scored 27 second-quarter points en route to a 54-12 win in the season opener Friday night at Fred C. Hardke Field. The Bison’s first touchdown came on a 42-yard pass from Holden Jones

to Gate Parker in the first quarter. The twopoint conversion failed, leaving the score at 6-0. Lonoke tied it at 6-6 on a 75-yard fumble return by Dreylon Clay.. Lonoke took a 14-0 lead when Latrell Burnett

Hornets lose to McCrory

Quarterback Luke King hands off to #33, Braylon Anderson. (Ruth Corley photo.) By Mark Buffalo Sports Editor Injuries and an ejection led to an early stoppage of Hazen’s game with McCrory on Friday night. The Hornets were down to 11 players late at the start of the fourth quarter. They entered the game with 14 players. “I thought somebody else might get hurt,” Hazen coach Joe Besancon said. “We just stopped it right there.” Besancon said his team was playing well before he had to stop the game. “When you only have 14 or 15 kids, it makes it tough, especially when the heat index is 100 degrees,” he said. “Our kids are running all over the field. They just can’t hold up.” Hazen will host Cross County this Friday. Besancon said his team should be good to go as they will have one player coming out of COVID-19 quarantine along with a couple of other players.

“The two who got banged up should be good to go,” he said. “We’re still looking at only having 15 kids. The biggest thing that would help us would be a break in the heat. That would help a lot of teams. When you are playing with a limited amount of kids, the heat will eat you up.” Hazen trailed 2-0 following a safety. The Hornets led 6-2 at halftime. Braylan Anderson caught a 1-yard touchdown pass from Luke King. The Hornets had a chance to score again late in the second quarter but could not covert inside the red zone. McCrory took a 10-6 lead on the first possession of the second half. The Hornets reclaimed the lead at 12-10 on an 8yard touchdown pass from King to Sheddy Ward. McCrory then scored two more thirdquarter touchdowns to account for the scoring. King was 20 for 32 pass-

ing for 228 yards and two scores. He also led the Hornets with 9 tackles. Kolton Tosh had 5 catches for 53 yards. He also had 7 tackles. Friday’s game with Cross County at Hornet Field starts at 7 p.m.

scored on a 59-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Allen. Lonoke’s other second-quarter touchdowns came on runs of 8 and 41 yards. Carlisle’s second touchdown came on a 6-yard run by Parker to make the score 34-12. The Jackrabbits scored the final 20 points to get the win. Parker led the Bison with 102 yards rushing with 19 carries. J.J. Sullivan had 71 yards on 17 carries. Kaleb Elliott had 38 yards on 4 carries.

Allen completed 9 of 11 passes for 190 yards and two touchdowns. Spencer Pepper caught three passes for 86 yards and a touchdown.

The Bison play at Bigelow this Friday. The Panthers beat Bearden 41-7 in their season opener last Friday.
