Home opener brings out fans, support

Chase County basketball’s home opener arrived Friday night and with it a lot of fan support, music and even Woolly Bully, the school mascot. Above, grade school students were lined up to spell out the chant “Hey Longhorns, we just know that you’ll win this game.” Adding percussion to the music from the school’s pep band were eighth grade drummers, pictured middle from left, Correy Koellner, Jordan Jablonski and Kendra Burke. Taking time for a pose with Woolly Bully between routines were cheerleaders, below from left, Sydnie Allen, Hayley Vitosh, Brooke Schilke, Ryley Vrbas and Macy Coleman. The home opener featured girls’ JV and varsity games against McCook. (Johnson Publications photos)
