Arkansas’ next football stars are already making waves

Three Arkansas sophomores are turning heads on the national recruiting scene before even hitting their varsity stride. Braylyn Brown from Joe T. Robinson is ranked No. 83 in the country and is already fielding offers from Kentucky and Memphis, despite not yet playing varsity. North Little Rock’s Jamir Lee, with a Razorbacks offer in hand, racked up over 1,000 yards as a freshman. Dumas’ Kentz Brown, drawing comparisons to Darren McFadden, rushed for nearly 1,200 yards in just five games. With top talent leaving the state, will Arkansas keep these future stars home? What do you think it’ll take? #Sports #ArkansasFootball #HighSchoolSports

Dominik Calhoun vs CIF: NIL Gamechanger?

Boise State-bound Dominik Calhoun just dropped a bombshell on the high school sports world, filing a federal lawsuit against CIF over NIL restrictions. The young safety’s move could be the Ed O’Bannon moment for prep athletes, challenging why CIF and media giants like Spectrum can cash in while the kids get nothing. If Calhoun wins, this could open NIL doors nationwide, letting tomorrow’s stars finally get their cut. What do you think—should high schoolers be able to cash in, or is it too soon? #NILRevolution #HighSchoolSports #DominikCalhoun #Sports

Podium Drama at CIF: Fair Play or Not?

Did anyone catch the CIF Southern Section Finals? The spotlight was on the triple and long jump, where Jurupa Valley’s trans athlete took gold, edging out La Canada’s Katie McGuinness and Crean Lutheran’s Reese Hogan. Hogan’s symbolic stand on the top podium after the race went viral, fueling the debate on fairness in girls’ sports. Both McGuinness and Hogan voiced concerns about competing against someone with a genetic advantage. What’s your take—should CIF rethink its policy, or is inclusion the priority? #CIFTrack #GirlsSports #FairPlay #TransAthletes #HighSchoolSports #Sports

My daughter lost her spot... to someone born a boy.

I’m not trying to start a war. I’m a mom. And I’m angry. My daughter trained 5 days a week. She worked for years to make varsity track. And then she lost her spot— to a trans girl who just joined the team last season. 👉 I’m not saying trans kids don’t deserve to compete. But is this fair? If you were raised female, you know what it’s like. The injuries. The pressure. The strength we build the hard way. Now my daughter cries after practice. Not because she’s slow— but because she knows she can’t win. We can protect trans kids without sacrificing girls. #ProtectWomensSports #FairPlayMatters #GirlsDeserveBetter #TransSportsDebate #ParentalVoices #HighSchoolSports #EducationControversy

Track Meet Drama: Pink Shirts & Policy Clash

Wow, the SoCal track scene just got heated! At the CIF Southern Section prelims, a major protest broke out over Jurupa Valley’s standout jumper—a trans athlete who’s dominating the field. Fans and athletes from rival schools showed up in pink ‘Protect Girls Sports’ shirts, sparking a standoff with officials over uniform rules. The controversy? Some say the shirt ban was about silencing their message, not enforcing dress code. Meanwhile, the Jurupa Valley junior keeps breaking records and qualifying for finals, edging out some rivals. Thoughts on how CIF handled this? #TrackAndField #GirlsSports #CIF #TransAthletes #HighSchoolSports #Sports
