Districts Soccer Game 1by THS Media Nick Cresswell
It was a cold night at Rockhurst High School, and the stage was set for an enticing match between the Truman Patriots and the Raytown Blue Jays in the first round of their District campaign.
Both teams were very hungry for a win. Truman, having won the previous two games against Raytown this season, were ready to win their third game in succession against the Blue Jays. Raytown, on the other hand, were desperate to make a statement against a well structured team. |
District Footballby THS Media Bri Savidge
It wouldn’t be the first time that Chrisman and Truman had played each other this season. Back on October 9, the teams squared off in the annual Wagon Wheel game, with Truman edging out a gritty victory, 28-27. The rivalry and outcome would be the same this time around, but in very different conditions and a much larger margin of victory for the Pats. With 30 degree temperatures, strong winds, and unrelenting rain, many were wondering if the district semi-final showdown between Chrisman and Truman would even take place. However, thanks to a lack of lightening in the area, the referees decided that the game would go on as scheduled. Unlike the previous matchup between the two rivals, this game wouldn’t even be close.

Wagon Wheelby THS Media Kane Mobley
Truman High School has seen 51 classes graduate, and all classes have traveled to William Chrisman High School for their home football games. But this year, 52 was the lucky number. Truman was having their first home game in history, and it just happened to be homecoming. A real homecoming.
The Truman Patriots were 5-1 coming into the game against the Marshall Owls, who were 2-4 coming into the game. The atmosphere set the stage for the game. Hours before the game even started, parking lots filled in with students tailgating. Due to selling over thousands of tickets and not having enough parking, shuttles from Sycamore Hills Elementary and K-Mart brought fans to the game. |

Truman Soccer: Senior Nightby THS Media Gregory Miranda
The Patriots continued their win streak in a very big night for their team. Not only did they pick up another win on the season, it was also senior night; one of the biggest nights of the season.
The night started as any other game did, minus the many pictures being taken with seniors and parents. The ceremony commenced immediately after the junior varsity game ended. The seniors walked with their families across the field as their bios were read and then they took a big picture and greeted by the coaching staff as the congratulated the seniors. The Patriots warmed up normally after the ceremony and then the players lined up. |
Pats learn from Jamboreeby THS Media Bri Savidge
The Truman girls’ volleyball team traveled to the Blue Springs’ Jamboree Thursday night, in search of some competition before their upcoming game Tuesday against Fort Osage, with Blue Springs and Pleasant Hill also attending the event. Although the team fought hard, they lost three out of four of their games with the scores of 25-17 and 25-23 against Pleasant Hill and 25-18 and 25-13 against Blue Springs.
“We didn’t play our best, but the Jamboree taught us what we need to work on,”senior Lexi Hart. |
THS Softball vs. WinnetonkaBy THS Media Luis Agosto
After a strong first inning by Gracie Ekberg, Truman was able to get on board in the bottom half. Lexi Lopez and Shay Tolbert hit back-to-back singles after the lead-off hitter, Annika Kessler, grounded out. Paige Butler had a 2 RBI double to bring in both Lopez and Tolbert. Ekberg struck out and Chloe Armstrong got the final out of the inning.
After that pitching took control of the game as both teams were able to get on base but were unable to bring anybody home. In the top of the 4th inning, Winnetonka were able to bring in two runs to tie the game at two a piece. |
