Prep athletes in Northwest Arkansas are more than just names and numbers in a box score.
Starting today and running every Thursday, we want to introduce readers to players across the region and go beyond what they do on the court or playing field.
Each week, two players will be profiled in a special segment called 20-for-20, where they are asked to respond to 20 questions.
