But more than that, they are friends and counselors who help instill in their players important attitudes that will serve them all their lives."

The squid thought he was bigger than everything in the ocean but he realized when he met the whale he wasn’t and being kind is important!”

Mena Bearcat Coaches select #26, Jarrett Burger, as the Farm Bureau Insurance Player of the Week vs. Pottsville. Jarrett is a Senior this year and plays Fullback and Linebacker for the Bearcats. His 8 tackles plus a 15 yard rushing TD helped lead the Bearcats to a 28-23 victory over the Apaches on Senior Night, at Randall Whorton Field.
Jarrett is the son of Jill and Chris Burger, and is a very avid bass fisherman and hunter. He and Mena QB, Austin Rose, compete as a team, in fishing tournaments all over the south, representing Mena High School. Jarrett hopes to go to college next year and be on a fishing team for a University.
This Friday, Jarrett and the Mena Bearcats take the 2 hour bus ride to over, to take on the winless Pirates, who are now 0-5.
Jarrett was not available for photo before press time, but will receive his week #6 game ball later this week.
Farm Bureau Insurance is a proud supporter of Mena Bearcat athletics!
