Northeast Nodaway celebrated its Homecoming during January 1984. There were some familiar faces in the royalty during the game with Gilman City. Joe Price was named King and Carolynn Stoll Queen during the festivities. NEN had its traditional candlelight festival to lead up to the coronation. Price and Stoll were crowned by the 1983 Royalty, Kenny Durbin and Shelly Jackson.
The rest of the royalty included some folks who have kids in the NEN school system today. Freshmen candidates were Valerie Dack and Kelly Durbin. Sophomore candidates were Ron Spire and Pam Schmitz. Ron is the dad of recent NEN athlete and grad Jill Spire and current NEN athlete Chet Spire. Pam is the mother of current NEN athlete Blair Stoll and one-time football and basketball standout Kevin Stoll. Junior attendants were Ron Wilmes and Susan Auffert.
Crownbearers were Matt Henggeler and Kelli Wilmes. Prince and Princess were 8th graders Cathy Schmitz and Jeff Redden. Cathy was the mother of NEN standout basketball players Bryce Farnan and Taryn Farnan. Jeff is the dad of basketball standout and NEN grad Holly Redden, softball standout Emily Redden, and current NEN athlete Cassy Redden. 7th grade candidates were Stephanie Wilmes and Todd Archer.
Claude Samson was still the coach at Northeast. The boys won 111-37 over Gilman City, while the girls won 61-30. The boys scored one of their higher point totals in school history; in 1985-86, Northeast would beat Worth County 110-60 as 6’7” Roger Riley scored 48 points that game. It was played in Ravenwood; the game was delayed due to the clock malfunctioning. Then, the clock ran too slow; while set to eight minutes, the time for quarters was actually closer to the NBA time of 12 minutes; the teams played six minute quarters in the second half. The girls scored over 120 points in a win over Stewartsville in 1990; Shelly Wilmes had 47 that game.
