The 2024 Bob Denniston Classic was a huge success. We are blessed to be able to host the Classic here at Mountainburg High School in memory of Coach Bob Denniston. An event like this can not happen without the assistance of many individuals and organizations within our community. Coach D was a very humble man. He would be honored to know that his name was on this Classic. We were blessed to have him here at MHS for many years. He was a true , Blue Mountainburg Dragon!
