🎉🎉2026 Senior Spotlight 🎉🎉Today, we’re celebrating one of our seniors! 🎓

Marian Rose Dabney will be a 2026 graduate of Milan C-2 High School and is the daughter of John and Andrea Dabney and sister of Ryan and Dominic Dabney.  Her favorite activity to do with her family is watch sports games. Her favorite childhood memory is traveling around every weekend for her brother's basketball tournaments.

Marian has been involved in Softball(4), Basketball(4), Track(4), Tech Intern(3), FBLA(2), and National Honors Society(2) at Milan C-2.  The activity she enjoys most is basketball because it is her place to relax and not think about anything else. Her favorite high school memories are when they made it to the District Championship her Junior year for basketball and when she made it on the podium at State Track.

The class Marian enjoyed the most was P.E. because she could play games with her friends and play her mom in ping-pong. Her biggest pet peeve is chewing with your mouth open. 

Outside of school, Marian enjoys hanging out with her friends and family.  If she had one wish it would be for the ability to time travel. The three words that best describe her are competitive, conscientious, and compassionate.

After High School, Marian plans to attend Coe College to play basketball and obtain a degree in Exercise Science. In 10 years, she sees herself financially stable, married, and starting her own family. Three things on her bucket list are to meet Cailtin Clark, travel to Greece, and to own a pink Ford Bronco.

The person she admires most is her mom because no matter what she had going on she dropped whatever it was to support her and her brothers. She has shown her the importance of hard work, patience, and sacrifice for people. The way she handles life inspires Marian to grow and do her best. 

The coach who had the biggest impact on Marian was Coach Hurley because of his strength and selflessness. No matter what was going on in his life, he still showed up every day and never let it affect how he coached. He showed her the importance of putting others first and staying strong even during tough times.

The thing Marian will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is seeing her friends and spending time with Mrs. Widner’s class every morning. The advice Marian would give underclassmen is to stay on top of your work and join whatever clubs or activities that interest you.

Andrew has been involved in Basketball (3) and Multicultural Club (1) at Milan C-2.  The activity he enjoys most is working out with his friends. His favorite high school memory is when his class won the Homecoming Olympics and competed in every activity that came with it. 

The class Andrew enjoyed the most was his senior year Spanish because it never failed to make him laugh, even when he had to do a million pushups for doing things he wasn’t supposed to be doing. His biggest pet peeve is people with no sense of humor.  

Outside of school, Andrew enjoys working out and fishing. If he had one wish, it would be to get paid without working. The three words that best describe him are chalant, grateful, and determined.

After High School, Andrew plans to enter the HVAC field and study as an apprentice while building his own company.  In 10 years, he sees himself running his own HVAC business while coming back home to a loving family.  Three things on his bucket list are to visit Puerto Rico, go to a Rauw Alejandro concert, and buy a Corvette C7 ZO6.

The people he admires most are his parents because they have taught him how to take care of himself and others while always having God in mind.

The coach who had the biggest impact on Andrew is Coach Dabney. The thing Andrew will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is the sweet treats.  If there were one way he could be remembered at MHS, it would be as the sweet treat muncher. The advice Andrew would give to underclassmen is to take their junior year seriously and to never take time for granted.

🎉🎉2026 Senior Spotlight 🎉🎉Today, we’re celebrating one of our seniors! 🎓

Hunter Ray Reed will be a 2026 graduate of Milan C-2 High School and is the son of John and Sarah Reed and brother of Mathew and Keaton Youngman.  His favorite activity to do with his family is riding four-wheelers and side-by-sides.  His favorite childhood memory is taking trips to the Lake of the Ozarks with his family.

Hunter has been involved in football (4 years), baseball (4 years), basketball (2 years), and FBLA (1 year) at Milan C-2.  The activity he enjoys most is football because he likes the adrenaline rush and how close he can get with all his teammates. His favorite high school memory is when the football team went to the final four in his sophomore year.

The class Hunter enjoyed the most was Food Science because he got to cook food with one of his best friends, and it turned out pretty good. His biggest pet peeve is people who walk slowly in the hallways.  

Outside of school, Hunter enjoys fishing, hunting, riding, and hanging out with friends, family, and his girlfriend.  If he had one wish, it would be to become a millionaire so he wouldn't have to work. The three words that best describe him are funny, outgoing, and determined.

After High School, Hunter plans to attend college at Graceland University to play Football.  In 10 years, he sees himself having a lot of money, married with a good job, and kids.  Three things on his bucket list are to travel the world, own a nice diesel, and own a dachshund.

The person he admires most is his grandma because she is a very determined person, she is a fighter, no matter what, she will never give up.

The coach who had the biggest impact on Hunter is Coach Cole, because he wouldn’t be where he is today without him. He pushed him to do his best in everything he did and not give up. He took him in like his own son and taught him everything he knows about football today. 

The thing Hunter will miss the most about Milan C-2 High School is seeing his friends.  If there was one way he could be remembered at MHS, it would be the kid who was always injured. The advice Hunter would give underclassmen is to believe in yourself, even if no one else does.
