Meet Logan Buck. Born in Texarkana and raised in Hooks, TX., he’s a graduate of Hooks High School who completed his bachelor’s degree at A&M-Texarkana in December of 2023 and is currently in medical school at The University of Texas Health Science Center in Tyler, TX.
Introducing alumnus Tim Frith, former Eagles baseball player and 2020 A&M-Texarkana graduate who is now an attorney with Wright Lindsey Jennings in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Originally from Stayton, Oregon, Tim played baseball for two years at Treasure Valley Community College in Ontario, Oregon before finding his way to Texas. Tim never visited the campus before enrolling at the university but heard about the program through one of his coaches while playing summer ball in the Great West League. “The affordability of the university was a big thing,” Frith said. “And I thought a change of scenery would be nice.”
What do a can of corn, a battery, and a dying quail have in common? Have you ever been told you need to unhitch your trailer? Maybe someone has thrown you a cookie. If these words make sense but the context is foreign, you’re not alone. The words and phrases have their own definitions and meanings within another language. The hidden language of baseball.
Meet Donnie Spriggs. Donnie is a Texarkana area native who graduated from Redwater High School in 2013. Donnie graduated from Texas A&M University-Texarkana in 2021 with a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences degree (which has since been reformatted and renamed as the Bachelor of Science in Leadership degree).
Both Lydia and Alex left an indelible mark on the university and the Eagle tennis program. They were very active within the campus community and were prominent fixtures at campus events for more than 7 years. Tennis coach Jim Turley added “Alex and Lydia helped make us the program we are today. They are great players, great leaders, and great people.”
Thank you, Alex, and Lydia Oviedo, for all you brought to the A&M-Texarkana community. We will miss your presence here but know you will find much success in your future endeavors. #Soar Eagles.
