Congrats Blake! Mena Coaches select #40, Blake Castor, as the Farm Bureau Insurance Player of the Game, for week #6 vs. the Pottsville Apaches. Blake is a 5'10", 210 lb, Senior, Defensive End, and his 9 tackles and 1 QB sack helped lead the Mena Bearcats to a convincing road win by a final score of 34-13. Castor was actually a two-way starter last Friday, as he also took over the Left Guard responsibilities on the offensive line. Blake is the son of Richard and Robin Castor, and the grandson of Phil and Mary Lou Brainerd and Danny and Becky Richardson, all of Mena. Blake says he enjoys playing volleyball when not in school and spends most of his Saturday nights playing poker with his friends. He plans to attend college, but is undecided as to a specific university at this time. He does however hope to become a Nurse Anesthetist, and spend his career in surgical medicine. Shown presenting week #6's game ball to Blake, are local Farm Bureau Insurance CSR, Alecia House and Bearcat assistant coach, Chad Arnold.
