Homecoming Is Back
Congratulations, Brooklyn! Senior, Brooklyn
Scobee, was crowned by the homecoming queen of
1981, Jacki Hager O’Reilly as the new 2014 queen.
The students say that their night was something to
remember. The theme for homecoming was
“Songs”; which happened to be the theme from the
last homecoming, 33 years ago. Students had dressup days all week that followed the theme and the
students, high school and elementary, participated
well and it raised the spirit of the week. On Thursday night, we held the annual Battle of the Classes
and the community pep rally for homecoming. A
bonfire was scheduled but, unfortunately due to rain
that was cancelled and the nights activities were
moved into the gym. On Friday, a parade was held
and we had around 40 entries from classic cars to
antique tractors, big machinery, horses, floats made
by the classes and the convertibles with the seven
queen candidates and their football escorts.
On Friday night, the football game began at 7 p.m.
with the Panther Pride Marching Band playing the
National Anthem prior to the start. The Panthers
played the South Nodaway Longhorns but came up
short in the end. At half-time of the game we introduced our queen candidates. The girls fathers were
their escorts and our first grade attendants and the
1981 queen crowned the 2014 homecoming queen.
We would like to thank Jacki for returning to her
alma mater to present the queen with flowers and a
crown after 33 years absence of football. Following
the football game the local Lion’s club entertained
the crowd with a fireworks display. Following the
fireworks the students from Gilman City, North Daviess, and Pattonsburg were invited to a dance that
was held in the cafeteria. The students that attended
enjoyed the night full of dancing.
Victorious over DeKalb in an extra-inning thriller with a score of 4-1. Moving on to
Sectionals hosted at Pattonsburg and becoming victors once again with a score of 12-1.
This advanced the girls on to the state quarterfinal game played at Jefferson High School
in Conception, Missouri where the girls fell to the State Champion Eagles 2-9.

The high school girls softball team ended their season 21-5, Coach Jenkins expected the girls to play hard, stay positive, and compete when
going into Districts, which is exactly what they did in winning both
Districts and Sectionals, and even remained positive in losing to Jefferson
2-9 at the Quarter-Final game on Saturday, October 18. Coach was
thankful for the great season the girls had, and said that the girls had
met his expectations in all areas, and everybody was able to step up in
certain situations. Overall, the girls had an amazing season, breaking
school records in multiple situations, and we couldn’t have asked for a
better year. Congratulations and great job, girls! —article by Brooklyn
