coaches host We all scream for ice cream Bulldogs youth football camp

It’s a good thing we missed our first edition last week after 10-plus years. We generally have hot opinions and our remarks about the Olympic ceremonies most likely would have resulted in our site being blacklisted by Facebook, etc. Speaking of the week off, it was nice to get out of town and float the Illinois River for 10 miles. But when you take your son who thinks he’s an Olympic kayaker, my relaxation time turned into trying to keep up with him. My projected six hours of time on the river turned into four thanks to the Jesse Owens of paddling. But, hey, it was time well spent. The City of Howe’s “Well 3” has gone down with the pump and pipe being replaced for the first time since 2011. This is the second well that has required substantial work in the last eight months as “Well 2” on the east side had major repairs early in 2024. This equates to $200,000 in well repairs in 2024.

HoweISD offering device insurance until September30

Howe Bulldogs coaches got an early start to blowing whistles last week as they hosted the Howe Youth Football Camp on Monday and Tuesday evening at Bulldog Stadium.

With students now fully toting school issued iPads, the ISD is offering $20 insurance per device for the year which can be purchased through campus secretaries until September 30. Last year’s damage total was $8,000 of which only 48% had insurance.

Youngsters of all ages went through agility drills, took handoffs, threw passes, caught passes, and learned angle techniques. Current members of the Bulldogs also took part in helping coach and direct the kids who will one day dawn the black and white.
