Body RICHMOND– The Spartans opened the curtain on a Greek tragedy for the Trojans, starring a chorus of touchdowns and a cast of relentless defensive linemen. Translation: Richmond popped open a can of whupass in the 44-6 victory Oct.

Body NORBORNE – A first-inning hiccup aside, Hardin-Central coach Brandee Doyle could not complain much about how her Bulldogs played to cap the Norborne Invitational Softball Tournament.

Body CARROLLTON – On Oct. 3, Richmond varsity volleyball coach Madison Endsley saw her Spartans pull off an “awesome” feat at the Carrollton Tournament.

Body WARRENSBURG – Hannah Norris was consistent Monday. The Richmond senior shot a 53 for the front nine and 53 again for the back nine at the Missouri River Valley Conference Tournament at Mules National Golf Course.

Body ORRICK – Coach Eric Fairchild could think of a few reasons a 14-point halftime lead disappeared and his Bearcats lost 56-40 Oct. 2 to visiting Worth County/Northeast Nodaway County in varsity 8-man football action.

Body HARDIN – A win over Braymer/ Breckenridge Friday night at Braymer in 8-man football will get last week’s loss to Liberal/Bronaugh off the Aggies’ backs. It will get Norborne Hardin-Central varsity coach Kirk Thacker off their backs, too.

Body HIGGINSVILLE – The Spartans reap a harvest of points in their 54-34 win Sept. 25 over the perennial Missouri River Valley Conference East Division champion Lafayette County of Higginsville Huskers at Higginsville.

Body RICHMOND – Ray Countians Timmy Hamilton and Dylan Comstock got to test themselves against some of the country’s top junior golfers, and a few international junior golfers, last weekend. And in a pandemic-created twist of fate, they did so on their home course.
