    I'm originally from Searcy. Graduated in 1980. We won't hold you being from Newport against you, even though you guys beat us (Batesville) in football for something like 25 years consecutive. But that tide eventually turned. We miss the rivalry. I sponsored a traveling trophy between the two teams for over 10 years called the White River Bowl giving college scholarships to the best senior players of the game. But Newport finally said they wouldn't play us anymore, can't blame them.

    Yep, when I was growing up, Newport was bigger than both Searcy and Batesville. Then, one of the downtown property owners would't lease Sam Walton more retail space for his $.05 and $.10 store when he decided to start selling cheaper and more volume so Sam picked up and moved to Bentonville. I used to play tennis with him occasionally when I was coaching in Bentonville in the mid to late 70's. Now Newport is a dried up dust bowl. Sad.
