Kason Mathes, Ashlynn Gilpatrick are North Harrison Homecoming Royalty

Ashlynn Gilpatrick was named North Harrison Homecoming Queen Saturday and Kason Mathes was named King. The festivities were moved back a day due to inclement weather.

Freshman candidates were Trendi Johnson and Cole Kampman. Sophomore candidates were Karley Koch and Matthew Heintz. Junior candidates were Rainey Fordyce and Grant Claycomb. Senior candidates were Emma Jones and Kason Mathes. The girls softball candidate was Kylie Pottorff. The baseball candidate was Brett Emig. Girls basketball candidate was Ashlynn Gilpatrick. The boys basketball candidate was Steven Willhite. Bearing the flowers for the royalty was Tayley Johnson. The crownbearer was Kade Smith. They were crowned by last year’s Homecoming royalty, Mardee Sadowsky and Logan Craig.

The weather did not cooperate for Friday, as it snowed more in Eagleville than it did in Sheridan; 5-7 inches hit there. The snow continued until Friday evening; Principal Mike Schmidli said he spend three hours Saturday digging the snow out of the parking lots so that people could park there. There were people Saturday morning there who had to call someone with a loader to come and dig them out.

Before the games, four generations of Gilpatricks sang the North Harrison Alma Mater. Performing were Velda Smith, Linda Gilpatrick, Josh Gilpatrick, and Ashlynn Gilpatrick.

During the boys game, the cheerleaders performed. Cheerleaders this year are Hunter Stevens, Kenna Slaughter, Emma Jones, Abby Clawson, Karley Koch, Halle Morgan, Trendi Johnson, Kira Robertson, and Cambry Doolittle.

The pep band performed as well, as it does during all home games. Members this year are Ashlin Bomar, Lola Breshears, Baily Briggs, Collin Briggs, Katelyn Briggs, Abby Clawson, Grant Claycomb, Hailey Claycomb, Adrian Cracraft, Trinity Doolittle, Ana Falk, Ashlynn Gilpatrick, Kolton Graham, Caleb Harris, Dillon Hartschen, Kadyn Hukill, Trendi Johnson, Kendall Kimbrough, Karley Koch, Paige Lane, Aaron Lundy, Michael McIntosh, Michael Mecca, Zane Moad-Hilburn, Halle Morgan, Brayden Nail, Kamden Robertson, Jayliegh Robins, Evan Schreiber, Kenna Slaughter, Hunter Stevens, Haily Strange, Kimberly Stretch, Panida Taweesup, Naomi Thomsen, Skyler Todd, Grant Trusty, Amber Wilson, Kayla Wilson, and Sirus Wright.

The coronation took place following the games with Grundy County. The girls lost 48-30, but the boys won 78-42. A semi-formal dance was held following the game and the coronation.

Since school was canceled last week, this week will be Spirit Week. It will be a Chiefs themed week, since the Chiefs are going to the Super Bowl; KC Wolf visited the school last fall and gave a talk to students. Monday is Mahomes Monday. Tuesday is Tyreek Tuesday. Wednesday is Winning Wednesday. Thursday is Tailgate Thursday. Red Friday, students will wear Chiefs gear.
