Published on: 11th January, 2026

Conference play returns in Arkansas basketball as teams work toward the chance to play in March. We visit with Rogers boys' coach Jason McMahon, who returned to head coaching after spending the last several years in Mali, Africa.

Wrestling ramps up with dual meets during the week and tournaments over the weekend. The Rogers girls earned a major win at the Will Rogers tournament in Tulsa, where the top five teams hailed from Arkansas, including third-place Fayetteville and fourth-place Har-Ber. Shiloh Christian hosted area teams at the Shiloh Duals, and Bentonville and Heritage competed in the Inola Invitational while the Rogers and Bentonville West boys were at the Larry Wilkey Invitational at Jenks.

Area athletes also competed at the Prentiss Gudgen Invitational at Pittsburg, Kansas, where Marcus Myhan pf Bentonville West claimed the high jump title.
