The Minden Crimson Tide enjoyed a highly-successful 2015 campaign, culminating with the announcement that a whopping 20 Crimson Tiders made first team, second team and honorable mention all-district.
The Tide finished the season with a record of 9-3 as district 1-4A runner up to Benton. Minden featured a prolific offensive attack and a smothering defense with a knack for causing turnovers.

Minden head coach Spencer Heard was more than pleased to see so many of his guys make the cut.
“We were very fortunate this year to have a lot of our kids make it,” Heard said. “I think every one of those guys was very deserving of it. They all put in a lot of effort this offseason and throughout the course of the year. I’m excited for them and excited that a lot of them are coming back next year.”
