Varsity Football Defeats Cascade 35-0

The football team is off to a great start this season. In the first week of the season the Falcons defeated Roosevelt. Their only loss so far was to W.F. West, which is a large school from Washington. In week three the Falcons defeated Philomath. On Friday they defeated Cascade 35-0. J.J. Fisher has had several impressive runs this season and the Falcon defense has played very well.

A few more facility upgrades

During the summer construction crews built the new baseball and softball hitting cage. We are currently trenching to bring power to the building. The next step will be to install nets.

The new hitting cage will allow us to take down the hitting cage that is currently in the gym. The net used to hang down over the student section and the wires frequently interfered with volleyball matches.

We also installed a new storage shed for the varsity softball field. 

A generous company loaned us a storage container that is used to store football equipment on one side and soccer equipment on the other.

This week we also were able to purchase two soccer goals that will be used on the JV soccer field. This year we added a JV2 Boys' Soccer team and so we will continue to use the old set of goals and create a fourth location for soccer players to practice.

Changes to the Sheldon fitness center

After four years of hard use and with the addition of two new PE teachers, we felt it was time to make a few changes to the fitness center. We rearranged most of the equipment, hung two new mirrors, added two stations for power cleans and had the floors professionally cleaned. Although the typical person might not notice the differences, the cleaning crew needed to dispose of 100 gallons of dirty water after cleaning the floor. 

Press Box Clean Up

At the end of this summer Eric Hunt spent a great deal of time working on the press box. We threw away many broken chairs and doors, ripped out the flooring, painted the walls and installed some new flooring that was left over from a different school improvement project. It looks MUCH better thanks to Eric's hard work.
