The First Week of November

CONGRATULATIONS to our MHS Cross Country team!  Our team finished the meet in 8th place.  Freshman runner, Madison Sutterfield ran a great race, earning a 2nd place finish!  Way to go, Lady Buffs! We are proud of your state performance!  

CONGRATULATIONS to our MJH Volleyball team! Our HPL CHAMPIONS!  Our Lady Buffaloes defeated the previously undefeated Lakin Lady Broncs to win the league tournament.  Throughout the tournament our girls never dropped a set. We are proud of our MJH Lady Buffs!

Just like that, it is time for our MJH Basketball season to begin.  Mr. Daugherty and Mrs. Lynn will coach our boys’ team. Mrs. Ziebart and Mrs. Martin will coach our girls’ team.  The girls will be practicing at MHS this week, while the boys will stay in the DP Gym. Both teams will have their team and individual pictures taken Tuesday during practice.  Please be sure to send picture payment to school with your athlete. 

GOOD LUCK to our MHS Scholar’s Bowl team.  They will be competing in the South Gray meet this week.  Rounds will begin at 4:00pm. 

Our MHS Booster Club will host the annual Fall Athletic Banquet Tuesday, November 5th beginning at 6:30pm.  Please note the earlier start time. This year our Booster Club will host a taco bar meal, providing the meat, tortillas, cheese, drinks, and table service.  Each family is asked to bring a side dish and/or dessert to share. We appreciate our Booster Club and their commitment to our students.
