Cass County Pork Producers, Sunday, crowned Paige Jensen as Cass County Pork Queen and Emily Plagman as County Pork Ambassador. Paige is a Junior at CAM High School who is involved in 4H and FFA. Her parents are Ryan and Eva Jensen. Emily is a Senior at CAM. She’s the daughter of Mike and Kristi Plagman, and is also actively involved in 4H and FFA. Paige Jensen will act as a role model for the youth of Cass County, attend parades if it’s safe to do so (with regard to COVID), and help the pork producer board with promoting pork in Cass County. She will receive a scholarship as an additional reward for her involvement in the pork industry.
She explained why she wanted to be involved in the pork industry this year.
She started showing pigs in her 5th Grade year, and have developed a bond with the swine she’s had, and with the various leadership opportunities that have been presented to her. Agriculture, she said, runs in her blood.
Emily Plagman will promote pork, attend parades if they are safe, assist in promoting pork within the county, and she’ll also receive a scholarship for future schooling or advancing in the pork industry. She said she’s had a love for pigs since she was young, and this was a natural progression in that passion.
She too has always been involved in 4H and FFA ever since she was young, and growing up on a farm, and she wants to spread a message about pork.
Paige Jensen says her message is simple.
The Junior says after high school she plans to study Ag Communications, Marketing or Business in college, and afterward start raising beef and swine on a family farm. Emily says she wants to get an Associates of Agriculture Degree at a community college, then transfer and get a double major in Ag Media and Ag Education, with a Minor in Communications. She says she wants to stay in a rural area and promote ag the best she can.

Hawkins was 4-of-7 from three-point range.
The Bearcats came out just as hot in the second half and blitzed the Ichabods with a 28-3 run to start the half. Northwest took a 72-19 lead with 11:09 left in the game. Northwest scored the first 12 points of the half, Washburn’s Connor Deffebaugh made a three and then Northwest proceeded to score 16 straight points.
A three-pointer by Daniel Abreu with 6:50 left gave Northwest a 54-point lead at 80-26. The Bearcats would finish off the Ichabods, 85-44.
