Pocahontas Area senior Khloe Mefferd has been named to the Iowa Basketball Coaches Association (IBCA) Academic All-State Team. She and the other honorees were recognized at the Iowa High School Girls State Basketball Tournament in Des Moines.

During the 2025–26 season, Mefferd led the Indians in scoring, three-point percentage, rebounds, and blocks. She was also named 1st Team All-Twin Lakes Conference and earned IGCA Northwest All-District honors in Class 2A, highlighting her as a standout basketball player and strong academic performer.
Last spring, Khloe also competed in track and field, participating at the Drake Relays and qualifying for the State Track & Field meet, showcasing her versatility and dedication as a true multi-sport Student-Athlete.

Good morning,
We'd like to provide everyone with an update regarding an accident that happened this morning. A senior was driving his 10th grade sister to the high school. At the corner of Highway 3 and SW 3rd Street (the entrance of the HS/MS), the student turned in front of a semi. Luckily a different student had just used the crosswalk, so both drivers were not going fast. The student, his sister, and the semi driver are all ok. Thank you to Mr. Vorba for being first on the site, and to Police Chief Leu for his quick response.
