Kingsville School

    I suspect many readers do not even know what the building pictured above is.  Well,  it is the old Kingsville School which has not been used as a school for over 90 years.  Kingsville, located east of Rossville along highway 24,  is now down to three houses and the old school building,  but once was larger and even included a railroad depot.

Football Districts for 2014-2015

The KSHSAA has published the district participants for the 2014 and 2015 football seasons.  During those years,  Rossville will be in the same district as Osage City, Oskaloosa, and Silver Lake.

Dawgs Split With Bears in Volleyball

    The RHS girls split with St. Marys in their Oct. 8 matches.  The bears prevailed in the first match, 19-25, 25-15, 15-25,  but the Dawgs returned the favor in the second match with scores of 25-16, 17-25, and 25-17.
    The RHS girls are now 1-5 in Mid-East League play.

    The RHS and SMHS teams combined to run as Kaw Valley in the Horton Invitational Cross Country run on Oct. 3.
    The Kaw Valley boys came in 8th of 14 teams.  Top performances were turned in by Sophomore Brady Mulligan, 24th, junior Clayton Rubio, 25th, and junior Dalton Kelley, 36th.
