Saturday, October 4th the Boone Central Marching Band stepped off on the Harvest of Harmony parade route with 31 band students and six spirit squad members marching. The Cardinal Band performed “ Feel it Still,” Applause Applause,” “Hail Varsity” & “Go Cardinals, Go.” They were evaluated by three judges along the route and received 29 of 40 points from the Music judge, 25 of 30 points from the Marching judge, and 16 of 30 points from the General Effect judge resulting in a total score of 70 points and earning them 11th place of the participating Class B Bands..

Eighth graders at BCMS took a trip to the Crane River Theater in Kearney on Wednesday to see the play The Outsiders. This classic novel by S.E. Hinton was recently adapted into a play as well as a Broadway musical. The novel is part of Mrs. Dawna Nelson’s curriculum, so she was excited to get to take them to this performance. The Albion Education Foundation generously funded this enriching experience, and students will now have some context to compare to the novel.

Fresh into a winning record, the Boone Central Cardinals took the show on the road last week as they visited the Centurions of Centura (2-3). The Centurions started out their season similar to the Cardinals with losses in their opening two to solid teams in Wood River and Doniphan Trumbull before two wins brought them back to even.

The Boone Central Cross Country teams traveled northwest to Atkinson last week to participate in the big West Holt Invitational. This meet featured many of the top rated Class D teams, thus using Class D scoring (the top 3 runners are scored instead of the top 4).

With the cool fall air moving in and the leaves beginning to turn, the golf season is definitely on the back nine. Last week, the Cardinals had back-toback meets.

The Boone Central Lady Cardinals went 2-1 this past week with wins over Ord and Elgin Public/Pope John (EPPJ) to improve their regularseason record to 12-10. Most recently, the Lady Cardinals stayed home to host a triangular with the EPPJ Wolfpack and Battle Creek Bravettes on Thursday, Oct.
