Battle of the Little Red: Clinton, it is time to be all in as history repeats itself. We are gearing up for the upcoming Battle of the Little Red where Clinton and Heber Springs will face off on the field for the coveted Battle of the Little Red trophy. Prior to the game, Clinton and Heber Springs put the rivalry aside to come together to support a worthy cause, fighting childhood cancer. For the past several years, through the Battle of the Little Red, both schools have come together to raise more than $10,000 each year. $1,000 goes to the Devon’s Donors Foundation and $9,000 goes to Fight Like a Kid. This is a cause very near and dear to the hearts of the Clinton Community, this began as a way to help out one of our own, Devon Wooten. In his memory, we have chosen to keep the tradition going. We are asking for your sponsorship to help reach our goal of $5,000. With this sponsorship, your name will be featured on the official game shirts, social media, radio, game announcement. Please let me know if you have any questions. You can reach me via e-mail at hutchinss@clintonsd.org or by phone at 501-472-9959.
