The Voice of the Razorbacks, Chuck Barrett was featured speaker and grabbed the attention of the room with an energetic and encouraging message for the students. He spoke on how important it is to be an all- around team player and how teammates must support each other. Barrett used his experiences as a broadcaster to showcase how important is it to be a great teammate, not just in the locker room, but also in life.

Simmons Bank Regional President, Daniel Robinson spoke of the character traits that team sports instill and how those qualities are what many employers, including himself, look for. Especially from the exceptional young men and women that were honored at the Simmons Bank Deltaplex Radio dream Team.

Players and cheerleaders were recognized individually while enjoying the evening with their families, teammates and coaches. The evening was centered around accomplishments made on the football field, but it also shined a spotlight on how students excelled academically.
