  Cross country competition for the Jackson County boys this season was defined by team success as none of the three teams had a true “front-runner,” but the Cobras and Panthers in particular showed a penchant for being able to “pack it in” no matter the size of the race. In Jackson Heights’ case,...
Members of The Holton Recorder’s All-County girls cross country team are pictured above, including (front row, left to right) Katie Hanshaw (RVHS), Faith Little (JHHS), Hanna Davault (JHHS), (back row, left to right) Alexis Coverdale (HHS), Kaytlyn Gooderl (RVHS), Kiikto Thomas (RVHS) and Brianna Cattrell (JHHS).
  There is strength in numbers. Unfortunately, that is not a strength the girls cross country teams in Jackson County could rely on this fall as Royal Valley was the only school to field a full five-member team throughout the entire season. While the Cobras, Panthers and Wildcats may have been...
  For much of the season, the Royal Valley boys cross country team has been chasing down plenty of tough competition, focusing in particular on Big Seven foes Hiawatha and Sabetha. The Panthers finally caught up to their prey and pounced at the league meet in Perry on Thursday, as the RVHS boys...
From left to right, Jackson Heights' Xavier Fritz, Dalton Chartier and Royal Valley's Ninahii Frisby lead a pack of runners at a recent meet in Hoyt. All three turned in solid performances again at Horton last Thursday, helping their teams to fourth and fifth-place finishes respectively.
  Competition is heating up for area cross country teams with regionals drawing near and both Jackson Heights and Royal Valley got a taste of that in the Horton Invitational last Thursday. One of the largest meets of the season (along with the following meet in Sabetha), Horton served as sort of a...
Jackson Heights' Hanna Davault (shown above, at right) looks to pass late in Thursday's race while Royal Valley's Kiikto Thomas (left) comes up from behind. Davault and the Cobras made some strong debuts in the team's first meet of the season.
  For the Jackson Heights cross country team, it might have felt like the competition had a head start in Thursday’s Holton Invitational. Most of the teams at the meet, in fact, were running in their second race of the season, while the Cobras were getting set for their first. For a young team like...
New JHHS cross country head coach Brad Alley (shown above, front right) demonstrates the proper running form to his team at a practice early on this season.
New Jackson Heights cross country coach Brad Alley is in a familiar spot and not just because he returned to his alma mater this fall. Already, Alley said he is noticing similarities between the 2015 Cobra cross country runners and his first squad at Royal Valley High School. That, too, was a...
Lyle Alley (shown above, at right) may have stepped down as the head cross country and track coach for JHHS at the end of this past season, but a familiar name will be taking over as his son, Brad (left), will fill those same roles starting in the 2015-2016 school year.
  For 36 years, Jackson Heights coach Lyle Alley has cultivated a familial atmosphere in the Cobra cross country program. “We have been a family in Jackson Heights cross country. That’s the way I’ve always approached it,” Alley said. “Even to this day, I’ll see runners who ran for me in 1979 and...
Members of The Holton Recorder’s 2014 All-County girls cross country team are pictured above, including (front row, left to right) Katie Hanshaw (RVHS), Alex Myers (HHS), Kaitlynn Little (JHHS), (back row, left to right) Tamo Thomas (RVHS), Kaytlyn Gooderl (RVHS), Emily Degenhardt (HHS) and Alexis Rieschick (JHHS).
While only one runner from Jackson County qualified for state cross country competition this season, that did not detract from the successes had by several Holton, Jackson Heights and Royal Valley runners this fall. Among the female runners in the county, there was much progress made throughout the...

Competing in a couple of tough leagues this fall, including one that featured an eventual state runner-up, the Jackson County boys cross country teams held their own week in and week out. Among the stiff competition, the Cobras, Panthers and Wildcats did not back down and earned some great...
  Postseason competition for high school volleyball and cross country teams around Kansas will start this weekend, with squads aiming to keep their seasons alive. For both Holton and Royal Valley volleyball, that will be a tough task as they enter competition in arguably two of the toughest sub-...
