Missing Shirt
We receive a request to reach out to our booster club members to help locate a missing shirt. Betty Haug (Derick Hammes mother-in-law) gave Lisa Hammes a shirt specially made for Dawson at state in Hutch. It was in a plastic grocery bag. Lisa accidentally left it laying on the bleachers when she ran out on the field after the game. When she went back to get it, it was gone. The maintenance man cleaning the bleachers said a couple who said they were from Rossville picked it up and said they would bring it back to Rossville. The Hammes have not seen it since. . Anyone with information should contact the Rossville High School 785-584-6193 or email Sandy Wichman
Thank You,
Rossville Booster Club
