Summer Ball Schedule 2025: Please check schedule weekly for updates and changes due weather and other circumstances. The Ozark League voted to start the season earlier which allows us to end the season earlier as well. We will have the possibility of High School games still going on when season starts. The softball team will be red this summer and the baseball boys blue. We encourage each player to have their own helmet but we will have a couple available for each team. Softball players are required to have a mask in order to play on the infield(per league rules). Schedule attached below.
Please email Coach Durham with any questions or contact your coach.

What an incredible day at the Special Olympics! 🌟 Our kids represented the Hillcrest Screaming Eagles with so much pride, heart, and determination. They performed beautifully and made us all so proud—it was a day full of excitement, joy, and unforgettable memories.
A huge thank you to our amazing sponsors, Doyle Ranch and North Arkansas Farm Supply, for generously covering the cost of team shirts and snacks. Your support meant the world to us!
We’re also so grateful to 6th grader Jayce Fitzgerald for creating the awesome shirt design, and to Mrs. Addison Brannon and her graphic design students for making our shirts come to life—our team looked fantastic!
Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Goff for driving the bus, cheering the students on, and making sure we got to and from the event safely.
We had the most amazing cheering section! Our parents, grandparents, and volunteers brought the energy, love, and support that made the whole day even more special. You made every athlete feel like a champion! 🥇 ❤️🤍💙
The kids had a blast, and it’s all thanks to an incredible team effort.
