Cassville: Reflection

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

“It’s not the way we wanted it to end, but being in the championship game, we take a lot of solace in that and were extremely happy to get there.”

Morris said that first quarter played a big role in the game for the players, too.

“We needed to come onto the floor with more confidence,” she said. “We were not ready for them to score that much right off the bat. But, I’m proud of us for making it that far. We were the second-to-last seed and made the championship — that’s crazy.”

Seymour, who finished with 7 points, said as the final horn sounded, her feelings were surreal.

“It was unbelievable to me that I had just played my last game,” she said.

Morris, who led the Lady Wildcats with 12 points in the game, said the emotion was flowing as the clock hit zeroes.

“There was a lot of crying, but there was also a lot of belief,” she said. “I gave a speech saying how proud I was of everyone to make it that far in the first place.”

“That made me cry,” Seymour said.

On Feb. 26, the Lady Wildcats bested East Newton, 31-29, and on March 1, they toppled Mt. Vernon, 34-31.

“Against East Newton the first time, we didn’t have our best game, and we really wanted that one back,” Smith said. “Against Mt. Vernon, we were having some injury troubles, so we knew that was a winnable game in districts.”

Seymour said the week

“It was a roller coaster of a week,” she said. “Every day, we’d come to the gym wondering if this was our last practice or game — and then it wasn’t.”

Smith said that week showed how much the team has matured this season.

“They have grown so much this year, and we knew all these wins were possible,” he said. “During the season, we lost a lot of close games, and these girls found a way to fight through that and get over the hill at the district tournament. We were able to close out those games.”

Morris and Seymour, along with Chloe Moeller, are the team’s three seniors, and Smith said the success this season wouldn’t have been possible without them.

“As a first-year head coach and in my first year at Cassville, I was pleased to have those three girls as my seniors,” he said. “They have tons of leadership skills, and I can’t say enough good things about them.”

Morris said playing basketball at Cassville has been an important part of her life and growth.

“When I first played, I would get overwhelmed and get down on myself,” she said. “By my senior year, I was better about that, so I not only grew as a player, but as a person.” Seymour said for her time in the program, it is the friendships that will leave lasting memories.

“Even with us leaving, the program is slowly getting better, too,” she said.

Purdy: New bus plan

poverty, challenging family situations and a history of personal trauma,” Anton said. “Students will have the opportunity to be part of this course as elective credit.”

In addition to approving the JAG program, the school board approved a plan that will allow Superintendent Travis Graham to own all 10 of its buses within the next few year.

Graham said he is planning to use ESSR 3 funds to purchase two new buses. He also said the district has two buses “that need to go away.” He said one bus has an odd transmission that can delay going into gear from a stop. The second bus, he said, came from a northern state and has a weathered and rusted undercarriage.

Once the new buses are added to the fleet, Graham said he hopes to purchase a bus each year for the next three years so the district can put an end to longterm bus lease agreements. He also said the district puts approximately 12,000 miles on a bus in a year, so each new purchase should last the district for many years.

Graham is also planning to stop leasing tech devices for students in favor of owning the computers.

Currently, Purdy con- tracts with a business to provide iPads for students at a cost of about $60,000 a year. Graham said he could purchase 290 Chrome Books for students at a cost of about $67,000 to meet the student’s needs while eliminating much of that annual lease cost. He also said the student business technologies class class will take on some of the maintenance associated with owning the devices rather than leasing.

Another big change will be the school’s website. By April, Graham said the district should have a “fully integrated” website that will include a merchandise page, an interactive calendar and live social media feeds from the district.

The board also approved the $57,000 purchase of new playground equipment. Graham said the school is saving $14,000 to $16,000 on the new equipment by planning a guided build that uses volunteers to construct the equipment under the guidance of the manufacturer. Graham said the build is scheduled for April or May, and he will be reaching out to community partners in the near future to plan the work days. He said he expects the build to last one to three days.
