Introducing the CSN Impact Award

Central Sports Network is proud to announce the launch of the CSN Impact Award, a new honor designed to recognize the high school athlete who makes the biggest impact both in performance and presence—on the field or on the court. Whether it's football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, or softball, this award shines a spotlight on the athletes who rise above, lead by example, and leave it all out there every game. The very first CSN Impact Award will be presented at the end of the 2025 football season, marking the start of a new tradition in Arkansas high school sports coverage.

Nominations will open soon and can be submitted by anyone through social media. Once nominations close, the ten athletes with the most nominations will advance to the final round, where fans, coaches, teammates, and community members will cast their votes at CentralSportsNetwork.org/vote. The player who receives the most votes will be awarded the CSN Impact Award for that season—earning recognition not just for talent, but for making a true difference in the game.
