 The football team reached the state championship game in 1975 (where it lost to Stuttgart High School), but it has never captured the title.Since his appointment as head band director of The Showband of Lakeside, Freddy Bell has taken the band to several marching as well as symphonic contests, where they have always received superior ratings.In their largest marching competition, the Northwest Arkansas Invitational in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, the band has placed in the top 10 in three of the past five years, receiving the distinction of "Best Drum Major" in 2002 and 2004.
