James, six Hornets named to Farm Bureau Insurance Awards watch list

LITTLE ROCK — Six members of the undefeated 6A-Central Conference champion Bryant Hornets, plus head coach Buck James, have been listed among those on the watch list for the 2019 Farm Bureau Insurance Awards.

Offensively, the Hornets on the 7A-6A list include running back Ahmad Adams, wide receiver Jake Meaders and left guard Tanner Wilson. Defensively, the list includes defensive tackle Austin Bailey and linebackers Daylon Land and Catrell Wallace. All are seniors.

James is among 14 coaches on the list for 7A-6A Coach of the Year.

The Farm Bureau Insurance Awards honor Arkansas’ top offensive player, defensive player and coach of the year for each classification. The veteran staff at Hooten’s Arkansas Football selects three finalists for each category, and those 45 finalists and their families are invited to attend the Farm Bureau Insurance Awards on Dec. 16.

David L. Moore, Senior Vice President, State Manager for Southern Farm Bureau Casualty Insurance Company, said, “This list of players includes some of the best student-athletes in our state, and Farm Bureau Insurance wishes each of them continued success the rest of the season. Farm Bureau Insurance is proud to honor excellence as the title sponsor of this outstanding event.”

Farm Bureau Insurance has supported education and community involvement in Arkansas for more than 65 years.
