Bobby Acklin, Former Superintendent, North Little Rock Public School District said,

"As superintendent, I was searching for a head football coach. In my search I interviewed Coach JR Eldridge.  I knew he was the man for the job based on the following information:

1.  His faith

2.  His family

3.  Football

Coach had a proven plan to be a successful head coach. He provided football manuals and standards and expectations for himself, his assistant coaches and players. When coach verbally articulated his plan it was clear of his passion for building character in young people and holding everyone accountable. Coach Eldridge’s plan proved to be a success by competing in the finals of the 7A state championship finals."
