Great memory (3/9/2014) from Howe Alumni & former Howe Lion basketball player, Colton Williams’ Mom Stacey: “Howe High School was established in 1907, and a hundred years later the 2007 High School Basketball team made their first trip to State Playoffs! I remember this so well....emotions were running everywhere, and I know it was the best thing that ever happened in these boys’ lives! They made it to the semi-finals, but unfortunately, they came up short! I know they wouldn't have traded that experience for anything, and I was so proud of them for giving it their all! I would like to congratulate the 2013 Howe Lions for advancing to State playoffs......and bring home that Gold Ball!!! 🏀🏆” - Stacey Harrison
And now, forward to 2020, and the Lions are headed back to STATE for the 3rd time in our school’s history! You know what they say, “3rd time is the charm!” #UnfinishedBusiness #GoHowe #LionNation
