Mena Bearcat Coaches have selected #4, Jair Hernandez, as the Farm Bureau Insurance Player of the Game for week 2 vs. the Center Point Knights.
Jair is a Junior, Free Safety/ Wide Receiver for the Bearcats and is also their Kicker. He is the son of Ashley Lowery and Eric Hernandez.
Last Friday night, Jair had 9 tackles and 2 pass deflections on the defensive side of the ball. Then, late in the fourth quarter, Jair kicked
the game winning 44 yard field goal, as Mena came out on top over the Knights by a final score of 17-16. Mena is now 2-0 for the year.
Jair also plays Mid-Fielder for the Mena Soccer team in the Spring. He hopes to go to college after graduation in 2025, but is undecided
as to a field of study at this time.
This week, Mena makes a long road trip to Northwest AR to take on the Lincoln Wolves, who are coached by former Bearcat QB, Reed Mendoza.
Lincoln is also 2-0 on the young season and have scored a total of 95 points in their first two games. Kickoff will be at 7 p.m.
Shown presenting Jair with the Week 2 game ball is local Farm Bureau Agent, Mitch Sikes.
Farm Bureau Insurance is a proud supporter of Mena Bearcat Athletics!!!
