What an incredible season for our Bryant Unified Basketball Team! The Hornets finished as State Runner-Up today at the Hot Springs Convention Center, representing Bryant Public Schools with pride, determination, and heart.
Unified basketball brings together students of all abilities to compete as teammates, celebrating inclusion, teamwork, and sportsmanship. Our Hornets embodied those values every step of the way, earning their place in the championship game through hard work and dedication.
We are so proud of our athletes, coaches, and supporters. Thank you for showing what it means to be a Hornet and for representing Bryant on the state stage.
Congratulations on an outstanding season, Hornets!
