Stars Sports Report: 10/27/25
The football played their last game on Friday against Ankeny Centennial. The result was not what the stars wanted, but their season is not represented by wins and losses. The stars were riddled with injuries this year, but they found a way to adapt, showing their poise and resilience. Once again, the seniors' leadership this year does not go unnoticed and will be used as a building block for years to come. The stars look to rebuild this year and come back better than ever.
The freshman team also dropped their last game to Ankeny Centennial. The freshman finished their season with three wins and look to make a difference next year in both the Junior Varsity and Varsity squads.
On Thursday October 23rd, 6 North High Dancers competed at the state level. The stars competed in Class 11 and they all received a Division 1 medal. A Division 1 medal is rewarded to the dancers that receive an 80 or higher by all three judges. This year all 6 of our soloists received the Division 1 rating! Congratulations ladies.
Congratulations to Kaylyn Winter, Elizabeth DePriest, Tianna Robinson, Lanie Zimney, Madison Musselman, and Sophia Nelson for the excellent accomplishment.
On the girls side, senior Marcella Palmer finally broke through the threshold and has solidified herself as a state qualifier. Marcella meticulously cut through the pack and patiently worked her way up to steal the 17th spot and declaring herself a state qualifier.
Although the stars had a great day walking out with 4 state qualifiers, the leadership from the seniors is not something that can be overlooked. Seniors Hanna Johnson, Maria Gutierrez, Arcenia Burrack, and Torrey Swaggerty-Morgan have all been a vital piece of the puzzle that has led to North's success. We are grateful for your leadership and wish you the best in your future endeavors!
Kuma, Ben, Evan, and Marcella all run at the state cross country meet in Fort Dodge on Saturday, November 1st. Good luck stars!
