Mena Bearcat Coaches have selected #24, Brody Peters, as the Farm Bureau Insurance Player of the Game vs. the DeQueen Leopards. Brody is a Junior Fullback / Middle Linebacker, for the Bearcats, and is the son of Brandon and Mary Peters. Brody had 104 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns, plus 12 tackles on defense, helping to lead the Bearcats to a convincing, 39-7 victory at Randall Whorton field this past Friday night. Brody enjoys fishing and hunting when not involved in school activities, and has taken up a new interest this past year, in trapping, thanks to his best friend, Cooper Plunkett.
