Defensively, Cayden Dominey and Nasjae Richardson led Arkansas-Monticello with six tackles apiece.

Charles Mabry, MD, FACS, chief of surgery at Jefferson Regional Medical Center in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, who has served the American College of Surgeons (ACS) in numerous leadership roles, received the ACS’s highest honor, the Distinguished Service Award.
The award was presented to Dr. Mabry at Convocation during the ACS Clinical Congress 2026 in Washington, D.C., September 26-29, where thousands of surgeons convene each year to advance surgical quality, patient safety, and access to care. Established in 1957 by the ACS Board of Regents, the award recognizes exceptional and continuous service by an ACS Fellow, as well as a career marked by an outstanding emphasis on patient care and commitment to the ideals of surgical practice.
“I’m very honored,” Dr. Mabry said. “I never thought I’d get such a prestigious award.” Transforming Trauma Care Dr. Mabry’s engagement with the ACS began during his residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) in Little Rock, when he first encountered Advanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS®). The program, now in its 11th edition and approaching its 50th anniversary, was brand new at the time. He continues his academic work as an associate professor in the Department of Surgery, College of Medicine, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS).
