Goodwater youth awarded PBCI scholarships
Special to the News
Drew Eason and JR Chapman, both of Goodwater, were each awarded scholarships by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians (PBCI) for their participation in Alabama’s livestock industry last Saturday, March 20, at a luncheon held in coordination with the Southeastern Livestock Exposition (SLE) Rodeo.

The PBCI has a proud history of supporting youth in livestock. Each year, two young people from each of Alabama’s 67 counties are awarded scholarships from the Tribe to aid in future participation in youth livestock events or further education during SLE Livestock Week.
