The Crowd Goes Wild

The Crowd Goes Wild

Before the start of the game, the Clarksville choir sang the Star Spangled Banner in front of everyone in the gym. The varsity girls basketball game was amazing. They took down Riceville by at least 30 points. The crowd went wild and cheered the girls on. The best part of the game was seeing the girls happy and having fun. They were pumped up and are getting ready for Don Bosco.

After the game was over, Mr. Sandifer spoke into the microphone, “Can we take this time to notice that our very own American Idol, Maddie Poppe, is here on the top bleachers in the home section cheering on the Clarksville Indians!"

In between the girls and boys varsity basketball games, there was a little game for kids to play. It was an amazing time, and after so many times, Kelton Kluiter was able to shoot a hoop from half court.

Next was the boys varsity basketball game. Their game was so close with so many free throws from both teams. The Clarksville Indians won in the end. They went home happy and proud of themselves. It was an amazing night for both the girls and boys.

We are hoping to see you in the high school gym when we play at home. We want as many people there to help us out with cheering on the Clarksville Indians. We hope that the gym will be packed. Thanks for tuning in.

Homecoming Hallways

By Cecelia Groah



It’s the beginning of December, and the Clarksville Indians have begun to celebrate. It’s homecoming week, and the kids are filled with Indian pride! The students have participated in a fun breakout game and have decorated the hallways. This year the homecoming game will be against Don Bosco on Friday, December 7th. Therefore, all hallway themes had to do with that team.

The senior hallway theme was “Deck the Dons” and the hallway is brimming with Christmas decorations! There’s snowflakes, elves, a Christmas tree, and plenty of Christmas lights. Senior Emily Wedeking said, “It was a lot of fun decorating the hallway with my peers! I really liked this idea!”

The juniors had a different and more groovy idea. Their theme was “Disco the Dons.” The hallway has a disco ball, warm colored lights, and figures of dancing people along the wall atop colored paper.

The sophomore class really put some thought into their idea and picked something fun everyone could enjoy. The sophomores theme is “Dunk the Dons.” The hallway is carnival inspired with many games along the wall. There’s a pick-a-prize section and funny ride names.

Last, but certainly not least, is the freshman hallway. The freshman had similar minds to the seniors and had a Christmas inspired theme. Their theme is “Indians Ran Over the Dons.” The hallway is covered in black paper with reindeer adorning the walls.



In all it’s been a very fun week for the Clarksville Indians, and there’s even more fun to come! The dance takes place this Saturday from 8pm-11pm. The students are very excited!

Clarksville’s 2018 homecoming coronation was a smashing success! Junior Carter Leerhoff was Master of Ceremonies. The night consisted of skits by the senior parents and the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior class. Senior Kylie Smith, also a homecoming queen candidate, won Ms. Hot Lips. Alongside her escort, James Jacobsen, who also won Mr. Hot Lips. Although the pair didn’t take away the crowns, they still walked away with t-shirts proudly labeling their title. Other members of the court were, (left to right) Cecelia Groah, escorted by Christoper Behrends, Allyson Essink, escorted by Drew Kromminga, Mallory Hoodjer, escorted by Dawson Holub, Bailey Meyers, escorted by Pacen Hendricks, and Kylie Smith, escorted by James Jacobsen. Congratulations to Clarksville’s 2018 Homecoming King and Queen; Dawson Holub and Mallory Hoodjer. The two were awarded their crowns by stand-in alumni Paige Morrison, representing last year’s queen Makenna Popham, and Christopher Nelson, representing last year’s king, Cael Negen. Unfortunately, the two could not attend this year’s ceremonies, but their stand-ins did an excellent job. Please join Clarksville in helping to celebrate homecoming week by attending the two home games this week taking place in the East gym Monday, December 4th against Riceville at 4:30 p.m. and Friday, December 7th against Don Bosco.

Mr. Miss. Hot Lips

Mr. and Miss. Hot lips


On Monday night Clarksville school crowned their Mr. and Mrs. Hotlips. This competition is held between the senior students at Clarksville. The way that the competition works is the seniors put lipstick on and kiss a sticky note, with that everyone votes for one of the boys and one of the girls. The two notes with the highest votes gets the title Mr. or Miss Hotlips. Our two highest votes for this year were James Jacobsen and Kylie Smith. ”I was severely shook when I found out, I did not think that I was going to get it,” Said senior Kylie Smith. The two got shirts that stated their title on the back and also a goodie bag full of Hershey kisses, chapstick, and a certificate. This is a tradition that we hope to always keep here at Clarksville!

Cece's Back!

By: Kylie Smith




On November 14th, Clarksville High was blessed once again with the presence of prized student, Cecelia Groah. Cece began her school year in Las Vegas this year which really saddened many of our Clarksville students.

“It was really hard to see one of our best friends move that far away. Our class has never really had to let someone go like that, so it was pretty difficult,” said Emily Wedeking.

The transition was even more difficult than her initial leaving.

“We used to hang out every weekend. Without her there, it felt like something was missing,” said Hannah Freerks.

This also took a large toll on Cece.

“It was pretty hard making a whole new life. I missed so much about Clarksville,” said Cece.

Although Cece had been gone for many difficult months, her arrival truly excited the entire school.

As she walked through the halls and found her many friends, everyone was elated. Hugs were shared and tears were shed.

Conner Freerks said, “I was really happy and excited.”

This humble day was a true surprise to a lot of the students. Although, some actually knew what was coming.

Hannah Freerks commented, “We’ve stayed close this whole time, and she told me what she had planned. I was so excited.”



All in all, Cece coming back was a great thing for Clarksville High and there’s no way we could have survived this whole year without her.
