🏀 Congratulations to our 2026 Gravette Youth Basketball Scholarship Recipients, Holden Jeffries and Parker Pittman! 🏀
We are proud to recognize two outstanding 2026 graduates whose years of dedication to basketball, academics, leadership, and service have left a lasting impact on our program and community.
Holden will attend the University of Arkansas this fall, where he plans to continue building on a remarkable record of leadership and service. Through organizations such as the Boys & Girls Club, Camp 4:13, and numerous community outreach efforts, he has invested countless hours serving others while excelling academically and leading by example. Holden credits basketball with teaching him the discipline, work ethic, and leadership skills that have shaped his success both on and off the court.
Parker will attend the University of Central Arkansas Honors College, where she plans to study psychology while pursuing a career in healthcare. Throughout high school, she distinguished herself through academic excellence, leadership, mentoring younger students, and a commitment to serving her peers and community. Reflecting on the impact athletics has had on her life, Parker wrote, “I played because I loved the game, but I also valued the people.” Her appreciation for teamwork, relationships, and service embodies the values we hope to instill through youth sports.
Both recipients began their basketball journeys in the Gravette Youth Basketball program in third grade and later gave back by volunteering and serving as role models for younger athletes. Their accomplishments, character, and commitment to others make them worthy recipients of the inaugural Gravette Youth Basketball Scholarship.
Congratulations, Parker and Holden! We wish you both continued success as you begin this exciting next chapter.
