HARRISON -- Students with a desire to play high school sports in this north-central Arkansas city have one common goal, and Tommy Edwards was no different.
"All I knew was to be a Goblin," he said. "That's the way we grew up."
Tommy Tice, who coached football at Harrison from 1982 to 2011, said the community had been blessed with a number of great athletes during his time there, and Edwards was definitely near the top of that list. He noted, however, there was something different about Edwards, who played basketball and football for 3 years before he graduated in 2000.
