Conway has been near the top of Class 7A's high school football over recent years, among the best of the rest behind five-time state champion Bryant. On Tuesday afternoon, the Wampus Cats hired Buck James, the man who has had a firm grip on Arkansas' largest classification since taking over at Bryant in 2016. James notified Bryant Superintendent Dr. Karen Walters of his intention to leave for Conway on Tuesday morning and met with his new team later that afternoon. "It definitely brings a sense of excitement," Conway Athletic Director Clint Ashcraft said.
