Game back home 'personal' for 2 Fayetteville High grads

FAYETTEVILLE — Barrett Banister and Akial Byers used to attend University of Arkansas football games at Reynolds Razorback Stadium.

“I grew up at that stadium,” Banister said. “Still have a lot of memories there. I can hear the announcer’s voice in my head right now.”

Byers, like Banister, was a standout player at Fayetteville High School.

“I always went to the Arkansas games when I was younger,” Byers said. “I was a Hog fan at one point.”

Banister and Byers will be on Frank Broyles Field instead of in the Razorback Stadium stands when Missouri plays No.
