LITTLE ROCK -- Pea Ridge Blackhawk football coach Tony Travis was named one of three finalists for coach of the year by the Arkansas Farm Bureau, which announced the finalists for the 2015 Farm Bureau Awards Monday. Travis, Danny Abshier of Prairie Grove and Bo Hembree of Warren, are the finalists for 4A. The winners will be named at a banquet Dec. 14 in Little Rock.
The Farm Bureau 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 Awards in North Little Rock.
Farm Bureau senior vice president-general manager David L. Moore said, "These 45 finalists represent some of the best coaches and student-athletes in our state. Farm Bureau 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 50 years.
