LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Today the Little Rock Touchdown Club celebrated sportsmanship as they dealt out the James Street Award, recognizing numerous local athletes for their character on and off the field. Coaches contending for state titles in the coming weeks sat at the same table, even perennial championship opponents Pulaski Academy and Little Rock Christian laying down their arms.
It gave us a chance to catch up with first year Bruins head coach and Razorbacks great Anthony Lucas. The back to back 5A champs took down Magnolia 56-25 in the quarterfinals, and will face undefeated Greenbrier in the semis this Friday.
