Pictured here posing with Miss Missouri 2018 Jennifer Davis, second from left, are the winners of this year’s Miss Northwest/Miss Maryville/Miss Northwest Counties Scholarship Pageants, which took place Saturday night in conjunction with the Miss Northwest Outstanding Teen Pageant at the Ron Houston Center for the Performing Arts on the campus of Northwest Missouri State University.

Standing from left are Miss Maryville Angela Luna, 22,Wentzville; Davis; Miss Northwest Outstanding Teen Faith Whatley-Blaine, St. Louis, 17; and Miss Northwest Danielle Stanfield, 17, Camdenton.

No Miss Northwest Counties title was presented because last-minute withdrawals meant too few women participated to qualify the competition as a three-crown event.

Both Luna, who attends Northwest Missouri State University, and Stanfield now become eligible for the Miss Missouri Pageant. Likewise, Whatley-Blaine is eligible for the Miss Missouri Outstanding Teen Pageant. Both events will take place in June in Mexico, Missouri.
