The Red Zone basketball student section SHOWED UP and SHOWED OUT last night . . . Mr. Parks counted over 150 “students” for this week’s challenge, and as he agreed, will paint his hair RED for tonight’s games against Wright City. Let’s fill the student section AGAIN and keep that Howe Lion Spirit up! This group did an AMAZING job last night! If you took photos, at last night’s game please text or email those to Mrs. Parks as soon as possible. She will be putting together a slideshow for tonight’s game.
Tonight’s Red Zone theme is “jersey night.” If you don’t have access to a lion jersey, just wear red/white, or paint your FAVORITE player’s number on an old t-shirt and your face!
Don’t forget, if you haven’t picked up your RedZone pass from Coach Womack, visit with him this morning. The pass entitles you to admission for a dollar and an ice cream for a dollar. You must have the pass on you to get these perks. Here’s the RED ZONE challenge for tonight, bring two friends! #LionPride #RedZone #HPSLions

Red Zone basketball student section club sign-ups are complete. Over 190 MS/HS students have signed-up. Because of the manufacturing delays for t-shirts, the group will be doing a theme dress each game instead of ordering shirts. Tonight’s (11/4) theme is RED OUT! Be there, BE LOUD, Be proud! Let’s meet Mr. Parks’ challenge, and fill the student section with a sea of RED! Friday’s Red Zone theme is “jersey night.”
Don’t forget, you may pick up your RedZone pass from Coach Womack. The pass entitles you to admission for a dollar and an ice cream for a dollar. You must have the pass on you to get these perks. GO LIONS! #InTheZone #GoBIGRed
