Last week marked the beginning of the EHS/JH Chess Club Tournament. The 15 eligible players were ranked based on their performance across 10 ten-minute official matches this year. The winner of this year's tournament will become next year's Club President!
Railer mens' wrestling stepped on the mat in Hoisington at the 321A D Regional last Saturday, one of 4 regionals held around the state. All of the boys competed like true warriors. While the season came to an end from some, each of them had great accomplishments throughout the year.
A special shout out goes to JT Rhoden, our only senior. His season concluded after an illness kept him off the mat the week before competition. He left in true Railer warrior fashion.
The future looks bright for Railer wrestling, as the rest of the team is underclassmen. Looking forward to having Austin, Brendan, Colton, Mason, and Cole back next year.
The Railers had one finalist and state qualifier, Asher Haag (freshman) at 126#. He had to take a medical forfeit in the championship match due to an injury sustained in the first period. We look forward to Asher join our 3 Lady Railers in the State Championship this Friday and Saturday at Gross Memorial Coliseum at Fort Hays State University.
Watch for more Railer Wrestling success! #itsagreatdaytibearailer

Ellis Jr./Sr. High School is proud to recognize our amazing teachers and staff! This week, we would like to highlight Mr. Matt Davenport. He is a first-year teacher in our district, and we are excited to have him on board! Mr. Davenport brings a wealth of knowledge and outstanding qualities to our school as a social studies and math teacher. He has developed a great rapport with his students and makes a significant impact in the classroom. In addition to being an excellent teacher, Mr. Davenport is also the assistant girls' basketball coach and the junior high girls' basketball coach. He has initiated the Chess Club at our school, which has attracted 43 members! Fun fact: his favorite music group is Queen. He can never claim, "I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me," because we are lucky to have Mr. Davenport, and he is truly valued in our community. We are honored to celebrate his contributions as part of our Railroader family. Thank you, Mr. Davenport!
