Schierholz, Schirmer crowned 2023 HC king and queen

There's new royalty reigning over the Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn Community School District.

Adam Schierholz and Kinsey Schirmer were named king and queen during coronation Tuesday night. The duo was selected from the 10-member Homecoming court by their peers.

Schirmer, of Sanborn, is the daughter of Scott and Rachel Schirmer. She is involved in volleyball, golf, softball, Dance Attack, basketball cheerleading, youth group, Girls League, student council and National Honor Society. She plans to attend USD to study pre-med with the intention of becoming an OB/GYN.

Schierholz, of Hartley, is the son of Andrew and Erica Schierholz. He is involved in football, track, National Honor Society and student council. His future plans are undecided.

The crowning ceremony was the first big event of Homecoming week, which culminates Friday when the Hawks face Kingsley-Pierson at Peterson Field at 7 p.m. A pep rally is set to begin Friday, Sept. 22 at 12:45 p.m., with the parade to follow at 2:15 p.m. in downtown Hartley. The community is invited to participate.
