Khloey Sperry, Camden Griffith are Gilman City Courtwarming Royalty; Griffith Breaks All Time Scoring Record at Gilman City

Khloey Sperry was named Homecoming Queen and Camden Griffith was named King Friday at Gilman City’s Homecoming as the Hawk teams swept East Harrison.

Seventh grade candidates were Landon Wyatt and Carsynn Robertson. Eighth grade candidates were Mason Hancock and Stormy Cannon. Freshman candidates were Mason Preston and Abigail Clark. Sophomore candidates were Parker Holcomb and Chloe Burrows. Junior candidates were Maverick Barth and Khloey Sperry. Senior candidates were Avery Gregg and Camden Griffith. Basketball candidates were Hailey McClure and Andrew Young. Crownbearers were Krew Eoff and Kahlesie Carey.

The cheerleaders put on a halftime performance of their own and also had one with the Mini Cheerleaders. Cheerleaders are Kammie Fehring, Chiara Davidson, Ella Terhune, Parker Crabtree, Ellie Smith, Tony Jennings, Isabella Hancock, Jemma Stotts, Hailey McClure, Nova Smith, Emmery Smith, Reagan Crump, Malory Chalfant, Carsynn Robertson, Kainsley McCrary, and Shayleigh Webb.

Mini cheerleaders performing were Kinley Prindle, Sadie Webb, Scarlet Wimer, Kayla VanPatten, Raylee Rosenbaum, Emma Ward, Olivia Ward, Winnie Frazier, Aria Anderson, Kody Hulett, Emma Isernhagen, Ava Isernhagen, Ava Kipp, Ella Wimer, Emerly Johnson, Jaycee Bontrager, Braxton Wimer, Kahlesie Carey, Kehlani Carey, Lakyn Ward, Gracelyn Moore, Cora Marshall, Dixie Marshall, Ida Smith, Kayla Scarborough, Kerrigan Thompson, Sophia Reynolds, Baylor Moulin, Anastasia Clutter, Rachael Steinhurst, Evelyn Waddle, Gracelyn Waddle, Chloe Robertson, and Destiny Fehring.

The girls suffered their first loss Tuesday, February 3rd at the hands of Grundy County. But there was no time for tears, as they had two more games upcoming; Winston had played them tough at Gallatin, and East Harrison, after struggling in the Gilman City Tournament and adjusting to a new coach, suddenly caught fire their next two games, winning both handily.

The girls bounced back well from their loss, doing better against Winston than they did the first time and winning 55-32 Thursday in Winston.

There was an injury scare Friday during the pep rally as one of the activities got too competitive and resulted in a massive collision between Camden Griffith and Avery Gregg; the latter was already under the weather. The collision was accidental; she got a bloody nose as a result. But as time ticked down towards the game, she decided there was no way she was going to sit out her last Homecoming game, Once the tip went up, she was in full game mode, and the rest of the team followed her lead.

Avery Gregg once against saved one of her best games for the Bobcats after getting 28 against them earlier this year; she scored 24 points, grabbed six boards, had six assists, and had seven steals. The rest of the team followed her lead as Khloey Sperry went beast mode and had 18 points while matching career highs in rebounds with 20 and in blocked shots with 8, nearly getting a triple double. Alli Burke quietly built up 16 points and added eight boards. Tenley Griffith battled foul trouble, but still had nine boards for the night. Hailey McClure had a career high with 11 rebounds and added five points. Pyper Taggart came off the bench and grabbed four boards.

The result was a 69-16 win against East Harrison. Avery Gregg had 12 points and Khloey Sperry 8 more in the first quarter as the Hawks, after leading 10-2 at the 3:51 mark, turned on the afterburners in building up a 25-6 lead. The Lady Hawks won every quarter after that; after the 7:45 mark of the third quarter, Gilman City shut out East Harrison the rest of the way and outscored them 27-0.

Meanwhile, the boys have been going strong, winning their fourth straight game and putting away East Harrison 66-37. They handled the hostile road environment at Grundy County and won 62-41, and then came from behind in another difficult place to play and beat Winston 47-41. With the win, they have now won eight out of their last ten and are now over the .500 mark at 11-10.

The East Harrison game stayed close for a while, with the Bobcats twice cutting it to nine in the third quarter after Gilman City had led by 16 in the first half. But a 16-0 Hawk run spanning the last six minutes of the third quarter and the first minute of the fourth decided the game.

Camden Griffith had a career high with 44 points. The only tense point in the second half was whether he would break the all-time scoring record previously held by Brody Langfitt. He did it with four minutes left in the game, hitting a baseline three. The single game record is 55, set twice by Rex Ellis in 1960.

Jalen Sundell Starts for Super Bowl Champs

Jalen Sundell, who was once a Maryville Spoofhound, started for the Super Bowl Champion Seattle Seahawks Sunday as the center. With the Chiefs out of the picture, most people turned to the Seahawks.

The game turned into a defensive struggle, with both teams finding yards and points at a premium. The Seahawks chipped away from field goal range until they finally broke open the game in the fourth quarter to win 29-13.

The one player who could find daylight was runningback Kenneth Walker III, who had 27 rushes for 135 yards. Jalen Sundell opened the holes for Walker, who always was able to get Seattle the tough yards when they needed them. Sundell had one miscue, when he was called for a holding penalty at the point of attack and a long run by Walker, that would have capped off the game with the Seahawks’ 35th point, was wiped out.

Jalen is the son of Bob Sundell, who played basketball for Northwest in the late 1980’s. Bob is the son of Ed Sundell, who played sports for Lenox in the 1950’s. Jalen’s sister is Serena Sundell, who turned Maryville into a powerhouse in girls basketball and who started for Kansas State’s women’s basketball team.

 

Geraldine "Gerri" Uresk 1947-2026

Geraldine Beth Caldwell was born May 17, 1947, to Jack Keith Caldwell and Rebecca Beth Montgomery Caldwell in Independence, Missouri. At one year of age Jack, Becky and Gerri moved to Houston, Texas and then relocated to Pasadena, Texas. Gerri eventually became the big sister with the birth of Steven Keith in 1949, Mary Lynn in 1951, and Karen Marie in 1956.

Gerri began school at Golden Acres Elementary and later attended San Jacinta Jr. High and Pasadena High School. The family moved to Iowa in 1964 where Gerri attended Mt. Ayr Community High School.

Gerri was united in marriage to Alan Taylor. To this union two children were born, Jennifer Jo and Robert Darren.

In 1981 Gerri and the children moved to Colorado where they resided for several years, and during this time she met Raymond Uresk. She eventually moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming where they were married. Gerri worked at a few different jobs before becoming employed at Tatooine Electronics, where she eventually retired from. Ray and Gerri moved back to Iowa in 2009 as they wanted to be around family. The Uresks celebrated 25 years of marriage before Ray passed away in 2015.

Gerri became caretaker for her mother for several years while Becky battled cancer. During this time, the Olney brothers, who were longtime friends and neighbors of the Caldwells, came to visit Becky. Here Joe and Gerri became reacquainted from childhood years and the rest shall we say, is history.

Gerri and Joe spent ten years living part time in Iowa and the winter months in warm Abbeville, Louisiana. They enjoyed traveling together. An especially memorable trip was traveling across Canada from Winnipeg to Vancouver Island and on to view the tulip gardens in Victoria, Canada. On the trip home they toured the Grand Canyon and visited numerous other sites across the states. Another special trip was to Honduras to the big island of Roatan where they spent two weeks experiencing the many aspects of the culture.

Gerri was especially proud of and doted on her great grandchildren. Whether it was cooking their favorite meals or taking them to the Allendale rodeo, she and Joe were always up for their antics and orneriness, even sitting on Domingo the bull for a laugh! She never missed a holiday or birthday phone call, with her serenading them as they grinned! Gerri always made sure to tell them how loved they were too.

Joe and Gerri thoroughly enjoyed life and laughter together and with family and friends. Joe could frequently be heard saying to Gerri in a loving manner, “Now Babe!” and she in turn would roll her eyes at him. Joe was a faithful and loving caretaker for Gerri during her years of cancer. Gerri enjoyed plants and flowers and had a special knack for knowing just the right methods to attract humming birds-many of them!

Gerri passed away at home with family by her side February 3, 2026, after a valiant battle with cancer. She was preceded in death by her husband Ray Uresk, son Robert Darren, parents Jack and Rebecca Caldwell, and sister Mary Caldwell.

She is survived by her best friend and companion Joe Olney; daughter Jennifer Baker; grandchildren David (Cari) Head, Nathan (Alta) Head, Nikki (Scott) Drake, Anthony (Jarisa) Kinsey, Brett (Raelynn) Taylor, Maisie (Melissa) Yeager, and Kylee Taylor; great-grandchildren Kasen and Rylan Head, Ellie Boswell, Hunter and Gunnar Head, Cheyenne and Montana Baker, Morgan Hunt, Newt Taylor, Aria Hunsucker, Kallie Taylor, and Mitus Kinsey. Surviving siblings are brother Steve (Janice) Caldwell and sister Karen (Randy) Taylor, the Olney family, and numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.

Memorials are to Redding United Methodist Church and EveryStep Hospice.

 

Tina Woods 1965-2026

Tina Marie Woods, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away on Saturday, February 7th, 2026 in Maryville, Missouri. Born on October 11th, 1965, in Maryville, Missouri, Tina lived a life full of love, adventure, and dedication to her family and passions.

Tina is survived by her devoted husband, Charles Woods, with whom she shared a remarkable journey both on and off the road. Together, they spent 10 years as a team of truck drivers, exploring the country and creating countless memories. Her mother, Virginia Sue Davis of Hopkins, MO, also survives her, along with her loving children: Kelly (Nicki) Randle of Gulfport, MO, Mike (Keri) Woods of Savannah, MO, David Woods of Blue Springs, MO, and Lori (Randy) Welch of Bedford, IA.

Tina was a cherished sister to Travis (Manda) Davis of Maryville, MO, Terra (Chad) King of Hopkins, MO, Teresa (Robert) Hippler of New Iberia, LA, and Tammy (Dennis) Hamilton of College Springs, IA. Her legacy continues through her adored grandchildren: Bailey Woods, Ethan Woods, Addie Woods, Cameron Welch, Kelli Welch, and Eric Welch.

Preceded in death by her father, Robert "Bob" Davis, Tina carried his memory with her throughout her life. She was a talented and passionate individual who found joy in crafting, woodworking, and spending time outdoors. Tina especially treasured moments spent with her granddaughter, whether watching her play sports or simply enjoying her company.

Tina's warmth and enthusiasm for life touched everyone she met. Her love for camping and the great outdoors was infectious, and she inspired those around her to appreciate the beauty of nature and the simple pleasures of life.

Arrangements for Tina Marie Woods are being handled by Bram Funeral Home. Her family and friends will gather to celebrate her life and the indelible mark she left on their hearts. Tina will be remembered for her unwavering love, adventurous spirit, and the joy she brought to all who knew her.

 

Gage Fortner, Ethan Henson Break Double Figures as Shamrock Boys Stun Albany 66-40

Gage Fortner scored 21 against Albany, his third straight game of scoring 20 or more, and Ethan Henson joined him in double figures as North Harrison’s boys stunned Albany 66-40 Tuesday, February 3rd for their Senior Night.

Honored for Senior Night were boys basketball players Andrew Craig, Ethan Henson, Dustin Hamilton, Kayson Sims, Kyler Kimbrough, and cheerleader Addison Davis.

Albany was playing without Barrett Worrell in the game. Without one of their best ballhandlers, they struggled to handle North Harrison’s constant pressure and the Shamrocks fueled their run with 16 steals, led by Wyatt Maize with 6.

Gage Fortner started off the scoring with a drive and score, but Daulton Worrell countered with one of his own for Albany. But then Fortner and Maize each hit tough shots with a hand in their faces to fuel the Shamrocks. Andrew Craig followed by an inside shot to make it 8-2.

Shae Miller caught an elbow to the face and sat out, and Ryker Fortner got a tip and Wyatt Maize got a steal, leading to two more from Jensen Davis. Andrew Craig’s putback made it 12-2.

But Albany had dug themselves a hole several times, only to come back and win it. Miller came back in and provided an immediate spark as he fed Jace Palmer cutting inside to break the Shamrock run. Miller’s rejection on one end led to free throws on the other for Daulton Worrell, and Daulton came up with a loose ball following a wild scramble as time was winding down and hit a 35-footer as time expired to bring Albany to within 12-9.

Albany’s surge continued into the second quarter as Jace Palmer added a free throw and an inside shot off a pass from Jace Palmer, and Daulton Worrell’s free throw put Albany in front 13-12. Gage Fortner countered backdoor for North Harrison, but Samuel Poppa countered for Albany to make it 15-14.

But then Miller picked up his second and third fouls. He stayed in, but the calls took away his aggression, and North Harrison responded with a run that would last until the early fourth quarter, when the game was decided.

Jensen Davis knotted it up with a free throw and then Ethan Henson broke the tie with a 3-pointer. Wyatt Maize added a free throw and Ethan Henson had a monster stuff on the other end for the Shamrocks. Henson cut inside and scored, Maize slashed and scored, and Gage Fortner drove through the Warrior defense like they weren’t even there. Fortner added a 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer to make it 28-17.

Albany was shooting itself in the foot all night, picking up six traveling calls in the first half and two more in the third quarter along with a palming call.

Gage Fortner picked up where he left off in the third quarter, knocking down a shot from the high post. Fortner then aired it out to Ryker Fortner, who finished to make it 32-17. Gage picked up his third foul, but stayed in and continued to fuel the Shamrocks. Wyatt Maize got a putback to make it 34-17.

Samuel Poppa got a steal and Daulton Worrell followed with two to make it 34-21, but then Jensen Davis hit an NBA 3-pointer with a hand in his face to spark another Shamrock run. Dustin Worrell got a steal and aired one out to Gage Fortner for two, and Ethan Henson and Jensen Davis followed with 3-pointers. Gage Fortner drove down the left baseline to score, Fortner cut inside to score again, and Ethan Henson hit his second triple of the quarter.

By the time the dust had settled, North Harrison was up 52-22 late in the third, and they started subbing freely. Landon Johnson came off the bench to hit a 3-pointer, and Wyatt Maize drove and scored to make it 57-27 at the end of three. North Harrison’s biggest lead was 59-27 at the start of the fourth quarter, and they never led by less than 23.

Jacoby Ballard scored five points down the stretch for the Shamrocks, and Kayson Sims added a putback.

Gage Fortner had 21 points for the Shamrocks. Ethan Henson had 11, Wyatt Maize and Jensen Davis had 9, Jacoby Ballard 5, Andrew Craig 4, Landon Johnson 3, and Ryker Fortner and Kayson Sims 2.

Ethan Henson had 3 blocks. Wyatt Maize, Jensen Davis, and Kayson Sims had 1.

Gage Fortner and Wyatt Maize had 5 rebounds. Andrew Craig and Ethan Henson had 4, Jensen Davis 3, Kayson Sims 2, and Jacoby Ballard 1.

Wyatt Maize had 6 assists. Ryker Fortner had 5, Jensen Davis, Gage Fortner, and Dustin Hamilton 3, and Ethan Henson and Coulson Hartschen 2.

Jensen Davis had 6 steals. Ryker Fortner had 4, Wyatt Maize 2, and Andrew Craig and Gage Fortner 1.

Wyatt Maize had 6 steals. Gage Fortner had 3, Jensen Davis and Dustin Hamilton had 2, and Andrew Craig, Tate Richardson, and Jacoby Ballard had 1.
