A special congratulations to our individual State qualifiers Izabella Clark and Janie Massey for making it to the final round and representing Conway on the State stage.
But more than the scores or results, we’re proud of the character, grit, and determination this group showed throughout the season. They battled through challenges, supported one another, and continued to show up and compete. That’s what makes them true Wampus Cats! 💙🐾
Thank you to all of our players, parents, supporters, and everyone who helped make this season special.
