Richmond will have a winning duals record this spring in varsity boys tennis. The Spartans are 9-7 entering the duals or “team” portion of the Class 1 District 4 Tournament, slated to run May 4-6.

For the first time during her career as Richmond varsity girls basketball coach, Kaylee Vantrump has two players who’ve signed to play college hoops in one school year. As the Richmond News reported recently, seniors Emma Hash and Candiace Claypole have each signed letters of intent.

SEASON BEST Richmond’s varsity boys golf team shaved a few strokes off its game April 16. Competing in a quadrangular with Carrollton, Lafayette County and Holden at the Higginsville Golf & Country Club, the Spartans shot a combined 163 – their best this season, according to coach Brandon Rittmiller.

Senior Emma Hash will soon play basketball at a new school – and will likely play a new position there. Or rather, a different position than what she has played the past few seasons at Richmond High School (RHS).

KEEPING THE LEGACYALIVE Richmond continued honoring the legacy of a late coach and teacher Tuesday. That day, the Spartans staged their annual Hoot Middleton Invitational track and field meet.
