Eureka Springs High School senior Katie Farrar is joined by her family after signing a letter of intent to play college basketball at Hanninal La Grange University in Hannibal, Mo.

Many key victories sparked the Eureka Springs boys’ soccer team to a berth in the Class 3A state tournament.

Eureka Springs schools were well represented in the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Youth Shooting Sports Competition held April 28 and 29 in Jacksonville. This is Eureka Springs’ third year to compete and the district fielded two senior teams and two junior teams.

It’s practically unheard of for two players to account for all of one team’s scoring in a high school basketball game, but that’s what happened when the Eureka Springs Highlanders hosted Life Way Christian on Dec. 13 at Highlander Arena.

The 2021-22 Eureka Springs Highlanders had perhaps the best boys basketball season in the history of the school. The Highlanders went undefeated in regular-season conference play and then swept the district and regional tournaments before reaching the second round of the Class 2A state tournament.
