Due to the impending snow storm, Thursday night’s Highschool Football game vs. Crawford has been moved to Wednesday, 10/9 afternoon at 3pm in Crawford. Our plan is to be home around 6:15 to attend church activities.
The 2019 junior high hawks football team will be bringing back 7 players from last year’s team and 3 new 7th graders that joined this year. The kids are picking up the new offense very well and are working very hard. Coach Paben and coach Salazar were the junior high track coaches the previous season. Coach Paben has also been the assistant high school football and boys’ basketball coach the past two seasons. He is excited to be the head junior high football coach. Coach Paben says, “The boys are extremely coach-able and are looking forward to their games.”
There has been a couple changes in Activites that needs attention:
1.) HS Football on Friday, October 18th vs. Hyannis @ 1pm has been moved to Thursday, October 17th beginning at 7:00 pm. (This is also “Pink Out Night”)

Youth tackle football is once again upon us, 26 third through sixth grade young boys and girls will take the field for another season this fall. You will see the white helmets practicing with the “big boys” every Tuesday and Thursday after school. Games will be played every Saturday or Sunday beginning in early September through mid-October against competition on Highway 20. Game schedules will become available in the next few weeks, come and support these future hawks. A big thank you goes out to our coaching staff this year.
Hay Springs Public Schools students and staff would like to invite the community to our “Salute the Troops” night during our Sept 6th football game, where we will be honoring our local active duty military personnel and veterans. Fans are asked to wear Patriotic Colors in support of our military.
Grill and Grid Night will be on August 19, beginning at 5:30 pm! We are asking for fathers of the varsity football boys to please come help grid and paint the yard lines on the field. We will be serving grilled burgers, chips, salads, and a dessert to all who participate! Thanks for your support!
Six-Man Shootout All-Star Game
Nebraska vs Wyoming
2019
The 8th Annual Six-man Shootout featuring all-star players from Nebraska and Wyoming will be played at Chadron State College on June 15th at 6:00 pm. For the previous seven contests the game has been played on a rotating basis in Nebraska and Wyoming. The move to CSC now marks the permanent location for this game and a central location for both states.
Players will arrive on the Chadron State campus on June 12 and will begin practices for the game. Teams will be housed in the CSC dormitories and players will be treated to several activities while they are preparing for Saturday night’s game.
The past contests have been exciting affairs with Wyoming winning the first three games of the series. Nebraska rallied for three straight of their own to tie the series at 3-3. The 2018 game in Albion, NE went to the Wyoming team in a hard fought defensive battle that ended with a 16-14 Wyoming victory.
The Nebraska team for 2019 will feature three 2000 yard running backs, led by All-State Offensive Player of the Year, AJ Jenkins of Wilcox-Hildreth and includes do-it-all player Trent Reed of Hay Springs and Christian Timmof Eustis-Farnam. First teamer, Peyton Dubbert will quarterback the team that features six first team all state selections on the offensive side of the ball.
