Backcourt Sparks at Elite Arkansas Preseason Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This guard group brought a wide mix of scoring, creation, toughness, and connective play. Some stretched the floor, some carved out shots off the bounce, some organized actions, and others supplied the energy that keeps possessions alive. Different strengths, different roles, but each one found a way to leave a mark in live action and shape how the gym moved. Keep your eyes peeled for more in the upcoming season from these seniors.
