Fall Sports have very successful seasons!

With the football team finally completing their season on Nov 14th, I thought I would review the successes of our fall sports in 2009. First, our Chick Volleyball team finished with a 20-11-3 record, finishing 2nd in the conference and 2nd in the district. They placed 1st in the Warrensburg tournament. Our girls golf team had the most wins in duals this year, placing in a tournament and bringing home their first trophy. Bailey Gates also qualified again for the state golf tournament. She's the first back to back qualifer in Chicks history. Our softball team finished co-conference champs and District champs. They also won the Pleasant Hill Invitational tournament. The Boys and Girls Cross Country teams also were very successful. The boys won the conference meet for the 3rd year in a row and won the District meet for the 2nd year in a row. They finished up 12th in the state as a team. Taylor Tribble qualified for state for the girls team. Finally, our football team finished with an 8-5 record, finishing 3rd in the conference, district runner-up and sectional and regional champions. They were defeated by O'Hara in the quarterfinal by a score of 50-49. It was a very exciting game! So as you can see, our fall sports have set the tone for the year and I look forward to watching our winter teams compete. I hope you come out and support our Roosters and Chicks this winter!

As the Fall seasons wind down, each sport has started to or will be shortly starting their post-season play.

Homecoming Fever has come to PHHS

2009-10-08T08:42:00.000-07:00

The Homecoming season is upon us this week as our students are busily creating floats for the parade and digging through their closets for creative spirit days attire. Monday was red light/green light day which meant that if a student wore green, they needed a date for the dance on Saturday and red meaning, "I have a date". Tuesday was the Duct Tape and Aluminum day which proved to be a hit with students creating outfits with those materials. Wednesday was the classic pajama day and today is Class Color day. Tomorrow is the traditional Purple and Gold day. As far as homecoming festivities are concerned, Friday is a half-day with dismissal at 11:30. The parade will start at 2pm with line-up on Rooster way for all school entries starting at 1pm. All community entries need to line-up at the sports complex and file in behind the school parade. Gates will open at 5:45 for the Homecoming game and the crowning of the Homecoming Queen will be at half-time.The Homecoming dance will be on Saturday night at the High School from 8-11pm. Semi-formal attire is suggested.
