Neelyville may be a small rural school, but we’ve had our share of recognitions. Many past graduates can remember Neelyville “in its prime.” In recent years, we’ve been “in our prime” again — both athletically and aca- demically. During the 1982-83 school year, NHS re- ceived state recognition when our baseball team won regionals. The following year, 1983- 84, our boys won regionals in basketball and finished the season 21-6. In addition, Ginny Harris, one of our lady b-ball players, was elected all-state. Everyone thought an explo- sion had occurred. Actually, it was just the beginning. In 1984-85, Malcomn Henry, was elected all-state. Keyla Lloyd gave academic recogni- tion by being chosen to attend the Missouri Scholars Academy. In 1986-87, varsity girls went to statefor the first time in our history and advanced all the way to the quarterfinals before being beaten by the eventual state champions. We ranked 10th in the final state 2A poll. Our baseball team also won regionals and finished 24-7. Academically, Rodney Dunlap was chosen to attend the Missouri Scholars Academy and Keyla Lloyd received an all costs paid scholar- ship to SEMO. Last year our explosion continued full- force. Our varsity girls went to state again and finished the season ranked 9th in the final state poll with a 21-6 record. The baseball team had a superb year, finishing 4th in the state with a 31-3 record. Our junior high girls went through the basketball season undefeat- ed. Academically, Curt McGruder, Dean Fisher, and Rodney Dunlap were in Who’s Who Among American High School Stu- dents. Curt McGruder attended the Jackling Institution on the campus of Missouri-Rolla, and Robin Jones attended the Agri-business Academy. As our yearbook cover implies, “We were on the top of things.” This year we remained on top. Our J V boys finished 20-1 and our JV girls finished 10-1. Varsity girls had another successful season, winning the Ozark Foothills Conference and finishing 22-5. The baseball team had another super season and entered spring play with only 1 loss. Neelyville was even represented in the cotton Bowl parade by Robin Jones, our mas- cot. What will happen next year? Will the ex- plosion continue? Will NHS remain on top? Only time will tell, but the future certainly looks bright and the events we have exper- ienced in the past years have set a precedent for success. Here’s hoping the NHS explosion continues! 5
