Alumni Spotlight!
Two Gravette High School graduates are making their mark in the college football world. Junior Tajae White and senior Chris Childress helped Hendrix College finish their spring season with a number 14 national ranking. Both former lions turned warriors were featured in Hooten's Football Preview magazine this year. White caught five passes during the spring season and Childress made a 37-yard touchdown against Austin College. We’re rooting for both men to have another excellent season this year!
