Another former Mountain Home multi-sport athlete will be recognized this weekend. Tommy Studdard will be enshrined into the MHHS Athletic Hall of Honor on Saturday.
Studdard says he is looking forward to returning to Mountain Home for this weekend’s banquet.
Listen:
Studdard is a 1957 graduate of Mountain Home High School, where he lettered in football, basketball and baseball. He was selected All-State in football and baseball and All-District in basketball.
Studdard was offered a scholarship to the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, but he instead signed a contract with the St. Louis Cardinals and played in their minor league farm system for two years.
Listen:
Following his time playing baseball, Studdard moved to Kansas City, Missouri, and began a career with Hallmark Cards, where he would rise to department management. He later moved to western Kansas, invested in oil leases and pursued his outdoor passions of hunting and fishing. He resides on a farm in western Missouri and maintains well-stocked ponds.
Studdard will be inducted during the MHHS Athletic Hall of Honor Banquet Saturday at the Mountain Home High School cafeteria. The reception begins at noon, and lunch will be served an hour later.
