NORTH LITTLE ROCK - All 45 finalists and their families from Prairie Grove to McGehee and from Junction City to Walnut Ridge attended the 2012 Farm Bureau Awards Monday night in North Little Rock.

The veteran staff at Hooten's Arkansas Football selects three finalists for each category, and those 45 finalists and their families are invited to attend the Farm Bureau Awards Dec. 10 in North Little Rock.

Farm Bureau vice president-general manager Duff Wallace said, "We congratulate our 15 winners. All 45 finalists represent some of the best coaches and student-athletes in our state. Farm Bureau is proud to honor excellence as the title sponsor of this outstanding event."
