The Head Hog, Coach Dave Van Horn, had this to say about the ARBCA:

"Our Razorback Baseball coaches will be proud members of the Arkansas Baseball Coaches Association. We feel it's imperative that the local youth league coach, and the Major League manager, and all of us in between continue to

learn together so that this great game can continue to advance in our state and so that the lives of young people will

be enriched by the lessons baseball teaches. We will not always be physically present at all ARBCA events, but we

will be there to teach, help, and learn whenever we can."
