Davis Warton Academic All State

   Shawnee County teens with impressive academic skills, character and a desire to serve the community are members of the 2014 Topeka Capital-Journal All-State Academic Team.

    The four students from Shawnee County have cultivated their leadership skills in organizations both inside and outside their schools. Each also has shown a dedication to community service and good character, which has set them apart from their peers and impressed adults with whom they come in contact.
    One of the four selected for All-State Academic is   ROBERT ‘DAVIS’ WARTON  of ROSSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

    Rossville High School counselor Beth Shepard says Davis Warton is a “true leader” who has been an asset to the school during his four years there.

    This year, he has served as Student Council president, vice president of National Honor Society and captain of the school’s Scholars Bowl team.

    “Davis is an amazing young man with high moral character and honesty, integrity and sincerity that go unchallenged,” Shepard wrote in a recommendation.

    Warton said recently he enjoyed planning homecoming and special Christmas activities as Student Council president because they are important to his classmates.

    “I really enjoy getting to be part of the planning process for that,” he said.

    Shelly Wichman, who has taught Warton in multiple science classes, wrote that he leads by example and works hard in everything he does.

    Shephard agreed, writing that he is a positive role model for younger students.

    “Davis is always open-minded, respectful and accepting of others’ differences and will quickly step up to volunteer help when needed,” she said. “He is someone we can rely on, and often do, to help improve the climate of the school.”

    In Warton’s junior year, he took forensics because he needed an art credit to finish high school. As it turned out, he was good at it. He earned a spot that year on Rossville’s state forensics team, and he continued forensics as a senior.

    “It was outside the box for me,” Warton said. “Sports are kind of my thing, and that was almost the complete opposite of football. The difference made it fun.”

    Warton played football for four seasons and was selected as all-league first team and team captain his senior year. He was named an ACT Scholar and a Kansas State Scholar.

    Warton, the son of Bob and Gwen Warton and Randy and Jennifer Bush, will study pre-medicine at William Jewell College. He plans to become an anesthesiologist.

    “It seems like a challenge,” he said of the choice. “I enjoy a challenge, and I really enjoy studying science.”

Rossville's Robert "Davis" Warton practices his chip shot at St. Mary's Golf Course. Warton is the captain of his Scholar's Bowl team, plays golf and football, and is involved in a school group called "Take a Second Make a Difference" (TASMAD).

Rattlers Looking For Player Housing

 The Rossville Rattlers summer collegiate baseball club is asking families within the   Rossville, Topeka, and Silver Lake areas who would be willing to become a part of our Housing Program to contact the team.

For the past two years, the Rattlers have relied on local families to take on the responsibility of housing a player and allowing him the chance to work on his dream of becoming a Major League Baseball player while playing for our hometown Rattlers.

From late-May through late-July, the family would have the chance to watch their player develop while giving him the experience of learning about our area and its many unique qualities.

We would appreciate if anyone in the local media could spread our need for assistance both on-air and in-print or through social media channels to allow us to meet our demand. As an organization, we thank you for your assistance.

For more information, please contact Craig Thornburg at 785-584-6410 or at   thornburg24@yahoo.com

Rossville Invitational Track

    The Rossville Invitational Track and Field Meet was held on Friday, April 25.
    The RHS girls team was 4th of 13 teams.   No one finished in the top two in any event,  but several 3rd and 4th place finishes gave the team a respectable finish for the day.
    The RHS boys finished 8th of 14 teams.   The Dawgs picking up first place medals were:  Zhaquarius Miller in the 100 meter dash, Kyle Parr in the 110 meter hurdles and also the long jump.  Clayton Rubio was second in the 3200 meter run.  The 4 x 800 meter relay team added another first place finish in a growing string of victories.
    The complete results of all events are at:  http://www.kawvalley.k12.ks.us/schools/rjshs/athletics/track/14/14_ross.pdf
