Good morning, Falcons! Congratulations on an amazing homecoming week! Our varsity football team played a fantastic game against Tehachapi and brought home a win! Plus, we had a whole-school rally with unbelievable dances and boards from your classes - congratulations to the juniors for their win! And, of course, we can’t forget to congratulate our Homecoming King and Queen: Kirsten Bacorro and Bobby Stewart!
Congratulations to the Lady Falcon cross country teams for their victories this past week. They won league meet #2, led by sophomore Trinity McLean's individual first-place finish. The men’s team finished second in the meet, just edging out Ridgeview and West. The women followed up that win by winning the Sierra Pacific Invitational in Hanford yesterday. Trinity McLean, Elena Baltazar, and Tori Suarez finished first, second and third in the race, with Cynthia Fletes taking 7th. The men's team finished in fourth place behind a very strong McFarland team. Cristian Galindo Salazar, Jaden Tungate, Coleman Silvas, and Nathan Ayala led the men's team to their best invitational finish of the year. Congrats!
