KATE SLAYTON-BUNNER SIGNS WITH SAU TRACK AND FIELD PROGRAM
Magnolia High School senior, Kate Slayton-Bunner, signed a letter-of-intent with the Southern Arkansas University track & field program on Wednesday, November 16 in the MHS Media Center. While competing at the junior high level, Slayton-Bunner was a two-time conference champion. She was also conference champion during her sophomore and junior seasons as a member of the Lady Panthers. During the last two track seasons, she was part of a 4x800 relay team that won two conference championships and was also a two-time state champion in the 800m run. So far during her short track career, Kate has scored 170 points in individual running events and has never been beaten in the 800m at a senior high conference meet. She played an important part in helping the Lady Panthers win 4A State Runners-up title.

The Magnolia School District is experiencing internet connection issues. This is also affecting our phone service. Currently the phone system is down at all campuses. We are working on the problem and apologize for any inconvenience. Updates will be sent out as we learn more about the problem.
PANTHER DUO SIGN WITH SAU BASEBALL
Surrounded by a crowd of family and friends, Magnolia Panther seniors Dalen Blanchard and Cade Browning, signed letters-of-intent to play baseball for Southern Arkansas University on Friday, November 11. Yet to start their Panther senior season, the two have already put up impressive statistics on the baseball field.
Coach Bobby Beeson stated that Dalen, as the Panther catcher, was the defensive MVP for the team last year and noted how their pitcher’s lives were easier knowing that Dalen was behind the plate. Dalen had a 355 batting average, and on base percentage of 600, and a slugging average of 705. He also hit 7 home runs, 7 doubles and had 18 runs batted in. Coach Beeson acknowledged that Dalen has been a 2 time All-Conference selection and a 1 time All-State player.
Dalen is the son of Amanda and Toby Blanchard
Coach Beeson expressed how versatile Cade was in that he could play almost all the infield positions. He also said the thing he loved about Cade was that he was one of the hardest workers on the team and gave an example of his hard work in the weight room and how he transformed his body since his sophomore year. Cade had a batting average of 330, an on base percentage of 500, and a slugging average of 460. Cade also hit 6 doubles, 25 runs batted in, and had 17 bases on balls.
Cade is the son of Brandy and Steve Browning.
