Archery hunting begins in early to mid-November when the deer start to hit the rut. It is a different, funny, crazy, and most importantly, an exciting time to hunt for a whitetail deer. During this time of the year the weather is great; the leaves are falling, the weather is changing to the colder months, the mornings are cool and crisp, and the bugs aren’t bugging your ears. The Squire recently interviewed one of Eisenhower’s own, Mr. Stimmell, to talk about the season. This is a huge season to a lot people who love the rush and the feeling of accomplishment when you walk up on that huge buck you’ve been tracking all year.
What were you doing in 1909? You probably weren’t born yet, but for some people it was the start of a tradition that would soon spread throughout the world. This tradition is known as Homecoming. Homecoming was started at a small college in Waco Texas, known as Baylor University. On stltoday.com, Chester Brewer stated they started the tradition as a way to, “urge alumni to come home for a football game against Kansas City.” Their Homecoming event included a football game, a gathering of alumni, a pep-rally, and a parade.
The Knights took on undefeated Seneca Bobcats, the region favorites, for the Homecoming game this year. To start, things were back and forth for the Knights and Bobcats, with Seneca scoring in the first quarter, but failing with the extra point. The Knights came back with a big drive, led by Jaydon Hayes, before the quarter ended.
