Future Tigers in Action: Participants in the Little Girl Cheer Camp performed during the start of the second quarter of Winnfield’s victory against Jonesboro-Hodge, helping fuel the Tigers’ momentum all the way to the win.

The Winnfield Senior High School Tigers secured a dominant 400 victory over the Arcadia Hornets last Friday, September 11, in a game defined by a rushing attack and a strong defensive performance.

Winnfield set the tone early in the first quarter, capitalizing on a fumble return for a touchdown to take an early lead. The Tigers quickly expanded their advantage when running back Kenneth Richard scored on a 5yard run, followed shortly by a 34-yard touchdown run from Braylen Butler, pushing the score to 19-0 by the end of the opening period.

The offensive momentum continued into the second quarter. Richard found the end zone once again on a long 56-yard run, and teammate Gabe Wren added a 21-yard touchdown run, bringing the halftime score to 33-0 in favor of Winnfield.

To help take the stress out of hosting, Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist Dawn Jackson Blatner offers simple tips for creating a satisfying spread that lets you spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the action.

1. Upgrade the classics The goal isn’t to take game-day favorites off the menu, it’s to build on classics with satisfying, balanced upgrades that add more nutrition to the lineup. Think nachos loaded with beans and fresh salsa, grilled sliders with colorful slaw, creamy dips with both chips and veggies, and protein-packed snacks like hard-cooked eggs and nuts.
