The community of Mountain Home Public Schools is mourning the loss of one of Bomber athletics’ most significant contributors. Seventy-three-year-old Max Atkinson of Midway died Friday night after the boat he was operating on Norfork Lake collided with the U.S. Highway 62/412 bridge at Henderson.
Mountain Home athletic director Mitch Huskey says the news of Atkinson’s passing was tough to hear.
