The fourth and final winners of the Republic-Monitor Medallion Hunt are St. Vincent High School students Rylee Robinson, left, and Haley Emmendorfer. After soccer practice on Thursday, the young ladies headed to the newspaper office around 4:45 p.m. to pick up a newspaper, took some time filling out the crossword clues and then began a three-hour search for the medallion. According to Robinson and Emmendorfer, they walked all the trails at Legion Lake but were unable to find it anywhere. On Friday morning they reexamined the clues and began searching again until they moved away some leaves and tree limbs, revealing the medallion. Not only is this the last medallion hunt for 2025, but a new medallion will take its place in 2026 because, if you look closely, you’ll see there’s no more room for the winners to write their names on the back.
Final 2025 medallion hunt winners split $100 prize
Perryville High School sophomores Lexi Schemel and Leah Bell were the winners for the third week of the Republic-Monitor Medallion Search. Although this was their first time searching for the medallion, they received a $100 check to split between them. According to the pair, they got up bright and early to buy a newspaper when they first went on sale at 5 a.m. March 20. Asked if the clues were easy, they said the one talking about “playing the cards and stuff” led them to the soccer park. And how did they find the medallion? One of them stuck their hand in a bush, pulled it out of the bag, and said, “Guys, I found it!”
PHS girls are third-week winners!
