Jackrabbits 7 on 7 update

From Lonoke defensive coordinator Drake Widener on his facebook page.

"Well the jackrabbits had a great day of work at the air raid 7 on 7 tournament. Looked pretty bad in the morning pool play, and when the kids got in the actual tournament they played lights out! The thing that is most exciting is the attitude we had when we lost the first three. We didn't get down, but instead came back and didn't lose in the tournament. We showed some mental toughness in the afternoon and as a coach you love to see that and the fact that we got better every game! Very proud to coach this group of kids!"
