Founded in 1905 in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, Henderson State Reddies football blends small town pride with big ambitions. The Reddies have stacked conference success, from a three-peat in the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference in 1973 to 1975 and another crown in 1985 to Great American Conference titles in 2012, 2013 and 2015. The program has reached the NCAA Division II playoffs several times, including its first postseason win in 2015.

Iconic coach Sporty Carpenter, whose name joins Jimmy Haygood on Carpenter-Haygood Stadium, and NFL standout Roy Green anchor the program’s legacy. Every fall, Arkadelphia pauses for the Battle of the Ravine with Ouachita Baptist, where the visiting team famously walks across Highway 67. Game days bring tailgating around the 9,600 seat bowl and a loud, close to the action student section that turns the venue into a sea of red. Join the Reddies and feel the Reddie Spirit up close.
