Tonight our boys and girls basketball teams have a big district game at Webster County. It is their annual teddy bear toss at halftime of the boy's game. We have been asked to participate in this event, so if you are going to the game grab a stuffed animal, and let’s come together to support the Ronald McDonald House!


On 1/27/25 Brooklyn Gibson, Lady Colonel Junior made her 1000 career point. This past Saturday before the Lady Colonel Game she was celebrated and given a ball with the name, date, and 1000-point career on it.
We are so proud of Brooklyn and the hard work and determination it took to complete that many baskets!
Congratulations Brooklyn Gibson!
