292 teams compete to raise funds

MOUND CITY - It was a windy, humid, typical eastern Kansas summer day last Sunday as cowboys/cowgirls gathered at the Kenny Spillman ranch west of Mound City to compete in a team roping event that honors the memory of Bayley Hanna Spillman.

Bayley lost her life on September, 13, 2006 due to injuries in an auto accident.

Her enthusiasm for sports and her friends at Jayhawk-Linn, Pleasanton and Pomona High Schools prompted her father, Kenny, to establish scholarship funds in her name for those schools.

The team roping event is a venue for obtaining those funds.

Receiving BHS scholarships from Jayhawk-Linn in 2009 were Ashton Spencer, Madison Beckman, Delayna Horrtor, Danielle Harris, Cassie Rockers, Sylvia and Ryan Sutherland. Stetson Kern and Alexandra (Alex) Umphenour, Pleasanton, also received scholarships from the fund. Four scholarships were given to Pomona High School Seniors. Twenty-eight scholarships have been awarded to date.
