Every day counts at SHS.

On Monday evening the JV football team took on Rochester. The game happened. Jeremiah Brown snagged down an awesome interception. Andrew Benning rushed for a touchdown and Benning threw a pass for a score to DeAnthony Brown. Even with those two touchdowns Jay Rolf was statistically the best quarterback on the field after his tremendous 1 for 1 passing performance. That was it, the game ended there, nothing else took place. But now for the moment you all have been waiting for...Matt Murphy stepped to midfield, the crowd silent, time frozen. The coin spun, sunlight glinting like destiny itself. A beam of light came through the clouds illuminating Matt standing there, brave and strong as ever. Seven tosses. Seven triumphs. When chaos reigns and the wind howls, one man flips a coin — and the universe listens to one person, Matt Murphy. Matt Murphy doesn’t guess. He decides fate. At this point, statisticians have quit. Physicists are in shambles. Probability has left the chat. Matt Murphy doesn’t play the odds — he is the odds. Without Matt, we are all left with nothing. The team now sits at 5-2 ont he season, but Matt remains a perfect 7 for 7.
We look forward to seeing our students and staff at our home football games! We look forward to seeing our students and staff at our home football games! But, we want to remind you of the code of conduct. The Code of Conduct and the guidelines of the student
handbook apply to all students while on District 186 property, adjacent property or engaged in
school-sponsored activities. Any misconduct before, during or after the game will be handled by
the administration at the student’s school and will result in consequences.
Please note that students who are suspended and/or expelled are not permitted to attend
school events, including games. If a suspended or expelled student purchases a ticket and is
admitted by mistake, they will be required to leave, and no refunds will be issued.
All spectators are expected to remain seated during games. Anyone found standing or roaming
for an extended period of time will be asked to sit in the stands, failure to comply will result in
being removed from the stadium.
Also failing to abide by the football stadium expectations may result in you being escorted from
the stadium. If you are escorted from the stadium you will not be allowed to return to future
games.
No unaccompanied minors will be allowed entry into games. All K-8th grade students should be
with an adult who is responsible for their actions and monitors their movement during the
games. They should be sitting watching the games and limit walking around unless using the
restroom or visiting the concession stand. Students can not attend without an adult - they will
not be allowed entry.
Football games will conclude around 9:15 p.m., announcements will be made for students to
call for their ride at the start of 4th quarter at every game. Please make sure your ride, if
needed, is at the stadium to pick you up at that time.
We want to cheer on our teams, have great District 186 spirit and have a good time. Thank you
for assisting the Administration and the Springfield Police Department in this manner.
And Now the Pledge of Allegiance.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.(Moment of Silence)
