The Cougar cross country teams had a great night competing at North Fayette Valley! The girls' team finished strong in second place, sandwiched between two highly-ranked 2A teams. They finished just behind a dominant Waukon team and ahead of a very strong Jesup team. This impressive showing keeps our varsity girls ranked 5th in 1A! Special congratulations to our medalists: Sydney Z placed 8th, Jaci S took 11th, and Rain R finished 12th. A big thank you to the volleyball team for showing up to cheer on our runners—your support made a difference! Cross Country will be back in action next Tuesday at Starmont.

Congratulations to Shane W on his 7th place individual award at the TriState Dairy Cattle Judging competition yesterday! The team of Shane, Kolton K & Ely S placed two heifer classes, two cow classes, gave oral reasons and then took a knowledge exam at the Northeast Iowa Dairy Center in Calmar.

Hey, Cougars! Come out tonight to support our football team as they take on the North Fayette Valley Tigerhawks at home. Kickoff is at 7 pm, and we want to see the stands filled with a wave of YELLOW to show our support for Trypp! Don't forget, the Cougar Betterment Foundation is serving a meal before the game for $10. They'll also be passing the helmet for donations for Trypp & his family. Let's pack the stands, grab some food, and show our support for Trypp and the team!

Hat Days for Trypp Roszell

Let's rally together to support a member of our Cougar family! Trypp Roszell, a 2025 graduate, is currently undergoing cancer treatment. To help with the costs of his trips for treatment—including transportation, meals, and hotels—we're holding a special fundraiser.

From Monday, September 15 through Friday, September 19, you can pay $2 to wear a hat or other headwear at school. All proceeds will go directly to Trypp and his family.

Here’s what you need to know:

To participate, you must check in and pay by the main office each day to get a colored dot sticker for your hat.
Keep the sticker on your hat or headwear for the entire school day. Teachers can ask you to take it off if you don’t have the dot.
All hats and headwear must be school-appropriate.

Let's show Trypp the full support of his Cougar family!
