Hannibal High School

(Hannibal)—Hannibal Police have not released details regarding a manhunt in the Palmyra Road area this afternoon that resulted in the lockdown of Hannibal Middle and High Schools.

So I put on the TV last night to watch the Discover Orange Bowl in Florida on ESPN. It was Northern Illinois taking on Florida State. Normally I wouldn't have that much of an interest in watching the game except for the fact that Mathew Sims from Hannibal was playing in the game for the Huskies of Northern Illinois.

Tuesday, October 9th will be a fun day in Hannibal if you like marching bands. It's the 64th Annual Mark Twain Marching Band Festival where high school bands from all around our region take over Broadway for a couple hours starting around 3pm. That's when the parade itself will begin followed by performances at Hannibal High School's Porter Stadium starting at 6pm.

The Hannibal Jaycees will hold their annual NFL Punt, Pass & Kick Competition on Friday, September 21st at 5pm on the Hannibal High School practice field (behind Korf Gymnasium).
