Stubborn Donkeys, Missed Baskets, and Big Smiles
By: Amber Ellison
At the Armory on January 8, the LHS
Student Council held an event that featured games of donkey basketball.
Players were required to be on their
donkeys in order to pass or shoot the
ball, and fouls were not watched. Some
donkeys were more well-mannered
than others. Student council president,
Brandon Heil thought the event was a
success. He also wanted to thank “The
clean-up crew, consisting of Britt Oli-
ver, Peyton Anderson, and Jordan
Maier, who were responsible for disposing of the donkeys’ accidents.” The
event was well attended by the community and smiles and laughter were
abundant during the games.

“The Best Way to Spread Christmas Cheer, is Singing
Loud for All to Hear.”
By: Amber Ellison
On December 8, LHS musicians held
their annual high school winter concert. This concert involved songs in
which the high school and junior high
choir joined together, as well as collaborations with the junior high and high
school band. Parker Minh accompanied
the choirs on the drum set when they
performed “Yuletide Rhythms.”
For senior musicians Krista Miller,
Kelly Schopp, Kaitlyn Reimer, Raechael
Seidel, Amanda Riley,
and Collin Hess, this
was their last winter
concert. Riley commented, “’Fum, Fum,
Fum’ was a little harder
of a piece for the band,
but it went well and
was fun.” The piece was
also Dillon Reede’s favorite, as he had a solo
in it. On ‘A La Nanita
Nana,’ Miller admitted,
“It was my favorite
song, even though having a solo part is always
a little nerve-racking.”

Two Seniors Travel to Denver
By: Taylee Raba
Two seniors, Kelly Schopp and Raechael Seidel, along
with FFA advisor, Etta Knuth traveled to Denver, Colorado
in mid January. Every year the seniors in FFA get the
chance to go to Denver for the Stock Show. They left on
Saturday and stayed in Philip, SD. Then the next morning
they got on the bus with three other schools and were on
their way to Denver. A few of the activities they got to
experience while in Denver were going to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Bass Pro, Invesco Field which
is home to the Denver Broncos, the Denver Zoo, the National Western Stock Show, and the PRCA Rodeo. Schopp
commented that the stock show and getting to meet Miss
Rodeo America were her favorite parts of this trip.

Learning Science through Labs
Sophomore, Jaret presents his biome to the biology class. Each
group was given a different biome
to represent such as the desert,
rainforest, taiga and tundra. Mr.
Swanson also required each student
to write a one page paper explaining their biome and what types of
plants and animals live in that biome. Each group also had to present to the class and write five questions about their assigned biome for
the final test.
Mr. Swanson’s astronomy class conducts a lab to replicate how craters
are made. Senior, Shelby dropped
several objects onto her “moon’s”
surface including marbles and a golf
ball which reportedly made a large
crater and a BIG mess. The students
used plaster to represent the moon
surfaces.
Jasmine, junior physics student, figures the resultant on one of the
problems assigned in a lab on vectors
and resultants in the high school
gym. “It’s easier for me to learn when
I’m doing hands on projects,” commented Jasmine. Mr. Swanson gave
the students the vectors and distances and they had to find the resultants. Some problems were quite in
depth and involved multiple vectors.
One Actor Receives Outstanding Actor Award
Performing the serious play, “Her
Senior Year” by Cody Moree, the One
Act Play cast and crew under the direction of Jenny Dirk competed in the Region One Act Play Competition in Mobridge on January 18.
Even though Lemmon was not chosen as one of the top two plays from
the region to advance to the State One
Act Festival, Mrs. Dirk said they gave a
heartfelt performance and acted very
professionally.
Parker Minh received and Outstanding Actor award for his performance as
Kyle, the boyfriend of the main character who died of cancer in the play. Several students were nominated for outstanding actor awards, but Minh was
the only one to get the 2/3 vote from
the judges.
Sage Peterson commented that her
favorite experience while in one act is
“being able to watch the other plays.”
Mrs. Dirk added that “The students and
I all learn so much by watching the
other plays and listening to the judges’
critiques.
A public performance of “Her Senior
Year” was held on January 23 at the
high school gym. Admission was
charged and donations were accepted
with all proceeds going to help fund
the Missoula Children’s Theatre which
will be in Lemmon the week of March
27-April 1. MCT will audition and cast
local children grades K-12 and rehearse that week to put on two full
length musical productions of Peter
and Wendy.

Cowboys Find Their Rhythm
By: Sierra Peters
The Cowboys started their season
with three losses, all of which were lost
by no more than 5 points. Despite their
rough start, the Cowboys have made
their way to the number one seed in
District 15B. The three game losing
streak came to an end when the Cowboys won against Newell’s Irrigators,
which was a very physical game.
Two big wins for the Cowboys were
against McLaughlin and Faith. The
Mustangs, travelled to Lemmon to play
a nail-biting game against the Cowboys, who came out with a 51-47 win.
Senior, Cameron Casey shared, “It was
a good game. We played hard and
played as a team.” Will VanLishout and
Jace Kocer led the Cowboys in scoring
with 18 and 12. Last year the Cowboys
beat Faith for the first time in eight
years. This year the Cowboys did it
again, winning on the Longhorn’s
home court 64-53. Kocer’s four threepointers helped him lead the Cowboys
in scoring with 22 points. As a team,
the Cowboys shot an impressive 83
percent from the free-throw line. “We
really picked up defensively and converted on their turnovers,” added Head
Coach, Sheri Anderson.
The Cowboys will go into the Little
Moreau Conference Tournament as the
number two seed the first weekend of
February. For five Cowboys this will be
their final Little Moreau Tournament.
Coach Anderson said, “Having five seniors that all want to win, combined with
their experience is something that
some teams don't have.”

chance at consolation champions, the
Cowgirls played Harding County. The
Cowgirls were down going into the
fourth quarter, but found their fire
within and won by eleven. Looking for
a fifth place finish, the Cowgirls played
Dupree. Injury, foul trouble, and the
Tigers’ height challenged the Cowgirls.
Dupree took fifth place over Lemmon
47-55. Camryn Shockley was named to

Cowgirls Take Sixth Place at LMC’s
By: Sierra Peters
The Cowgirls started their season
with a 50-44 win over Harding County.
From there the Cowgirls went on a seven game losing streak, but broke it and
started a three game winning streak
after beating Flasher 48-46. The junior
varsity and varsity both came out with
wins over Tiospaye Topa’s Thunderhawks and Beach’s Buccaneers. Against
the Thunderhawks, the Cowgirls’
grabbed 60 rebounds. Taylor Drayton
and Kodee Bolte came out in the first
quarter of the Beach game to give the
Cowgirls a significant lead over the
Buccaneers. Sophomore, Beth Tennant
stated, “The junior varsity and varsity
games were fun because we worked
together and had some really nice
plays because of it.” Drayton finished
the game with 21 points and Bolte followed with 18. Meza Ham led in rebounds with 10.
These wins gave the Cowgirls some
much-needed confidence going into
the LMC Tournament as the seventh
seed. Timber Lake, the second seed,
hosted the Cowgirls to kick of the tournament. Timber Lake came out strong
in the first quarter, outscoring the
Cowgirls by 12, and maintained a lead
on the Cowgirls, winning 39-60. Head
Coach, Jocelyn Rieger commented,
“We did a good job being aggressive

Cowboys Training Hard, Earning Medals
The Lemmon/McIntosh Wrestling team
has had a strong start to their season,
minus a few weather cancellations, illnesses, and injuries. This year, there have
been many new faces, along with some
returning wrestlers that make up the
team. The senior veterans include Dirk
Wolf, Dylan Wolf, Wyatt Huffman, and
Duell Tomac. Wrestlers from the junior
class are Braydon Peterson, Kaleb Bucks,
Gayge Schopp, and Chandler Schopp. Jake
Ellison and Dylan Witt are sophomore
wrestlers with some experience. Cody
Olsen, Matthew Mollman, and Will Stevens made up the Junior High Cowboy
Wrestling team this year, and Jacob Nehl
from McIntosh is also wrestling as a Cowboy this season.
While the Cowboys have attended numerous tournaments this season, both of
their home meets got cancelled this year
due to weather. They kicked off their season at the Stanley County Invitational, and
had a great showing. Dylan Wolf, Dirk
Wolf, Tomac, and Peterson all came home
as tournament champs. Other placers for
the Cowboys were Huffman at 2nd, Bucks
at 4th, G. Schopp at 8th, C. Schopp at 7th,
and Ellison at 3rd. After Stanley County,
the Cowboys traveled to Baker Montana
for a tri, and then to Faulkton.
The Cowboys kept working through
Christmas vacation, and on December 29
& 30 the team got to attend the Rumble
on the Red tournament, held at the Fargo
Dome. While it was tough competition,
Coach Peterson stated in practice later
that week that the tournament served as
a great learning experience and allowed
the wrestlers to experience competition
from both South Dakota and North Dakota
along with Minnesota, as well.
As the regular season is coming to a

tournaments, the Cowboy team is expecting big things for the post season.
With the Regional Tournament approaching in Rapid City, the Cowboys are continuing to train intensely in hopes of sending
many wrestlers to state this year. Fans can

Junior High Boys Show Potential
By: Kodee Bolte
The junior high boys basketball season is underway with a record of 3-1.
There is a total of eight boys on the
team this year consisting of two sixth
graders, four seventh graders, and four
eighth graders. Their focus this season
is on fundamentals. They’ve been
working on improving their ball handling skills, passing accuracy, consistency shooting the ball, setting good
screens, and making good cuts to get
open. Sheri Anderson commented,
“Their ball handling has improved and
they have a better understanding of
the game.”
The Cowboys won their season
opener against the Hettinger/Scranton
NightHawks outscoring them 46-17.
The boys lost to the Bowman County
Bulldogs in their second game 24-50.
Anderson commented on a memorable
moment from that game stating, “The
two sixth graders, Andrew (Dirk) and
Jared (Riesinger) both scored their first
points as free-throws that game.” The
boys also pulled off two more wins
against Dupree, 47-28 and Faith 44-20.
The Junior High LMC Tournament was
postponed
but Anderson
commented,
“The boys
have a good
chance of
doing very
well in the
tournament.”
