Families with no income or low income could get at least $3,000 per child with the Child Tax Credit, plus $1400 with the third stimulus payment - even if they have never filed taxes before (and if they have not yet already filed taxes this year). It is estimated that at least 24,000 children in Arkansas could miss out on this money if their parent/guardian has not yet filed.
Individuals likely to miss out include people with low or no incomes, immigrant families and individuals experiencing homelessness. There is now an easy form for people to file on their mobile devices in 15 minutes or less in English or Spanish. People have until November 15 to sign up this year at GetCTC.org/arschools.

IT’S GAMEDAY and Senior Night for your Colts as host a confident Trumann Wildcats team at The TEZ this evening. Senior Night activities will start around 6:30pm with kickoff slated for 7pm.
Trumann strolls into The TEZ with an even 4-4 overall record and 3-2 conference mark. The Wildcats faced off against a Blytheville team that was tied for 2nd place in the conference last week and came out on the other side with a big 31-15 win. That was the most points given up and the fewest points scored by Blytheville on the season. In that matchup, Trumann racked up 325 rushing yards led by Cade Hatton’s 14 carries for 175 yards and a score. QB Murphy Williams tacked on 96 rushing yards and 2TDs including a 67-yard scoring run. Big back Eli Evett is tough to bring down and WR Parks McNair leads the Wildcats in receiving.
The Colts had a big game last Friday as well and broke out of a 3-way tie for 2nd in the 4A-3 with a dominating 48-20 performance over Gosnell. The Colts have now reeled off four consecutive wins to improve to 5-3 overall and 4-1 in conference.
Sophomore QB Cavonta Washington is putting together a good year having completed 70.8% of his passes for 1,035 yards and 13TDs and has added 335 yards and 4 scores on the ground. WR Michael Rainer has snagged 30 passes for 652 yards and his 11 receiving TDs leads the 4A classification and is #3 in the state. RB Koby Turner is in the top 4 in 4A in rushing yards (896) and rushing TDs (17). Turner is averaging 9.3 yards/carry. On defense, LB Marcus Slayton has 95 tackles and 19TFL. DE Wyatt Lancaster has 79 tackles, 20 TFL (#2 in 4A), and 8 sacks (#2 in 4A and #6 in the state). Trent Kimbrough’s 21 tackles for a loss leads 4A and is #3 in the state.
The Colts lead the all-time series 31-10 and is 7-1 in their last 8 matchups. That one loss came at Trumann last year, 36-21.
Come out and cheer on the red and gray! GO COLTS!
