Latest chapter thrills Thurman

Former University of Arkansas basketball great and assistant coach Scotty Thurman is in Hog heaven since becoming the coach at Little Rock Parkview on July 25.

"I can't tell you how excited I am," Thurman said. "I don't know if I can even explain it. It's one thing to want a position, but it's another thing when you feel like it fits."

Although he has spent a majority of his life in his hometown of Ruston, La., and Fayetteville, Little Rock holds a special place.

"Outside of Ruston and Fayetteville, this has been my second home for quite some time," he said.
