Congratulations to our bowling teams and their performance at Regionals this past weekend in Gaylord! Our girls team place 6th overall, and for the boys, Dakota Wardle finished 2nd and has qualified for states. Way to go bowlers!
Taiyiah wrestled on the 19th at Heartland in the Regional tournament, and had two of the top 3 girls in the state in her bracket. She needed to place top 4 in the regional to advance to state. Tailyiah is currently ranked 5th in the state and lost her first match against Lillianna Garcia from Grand Blanc who is third in the state. She then Pinned her second opponent from Whitmore-Prescott Shelby Holtz in 22 seconds. Her finals match for 3rd place she wrestled Cecilia Williams from Coloma, and pinned her in 24 seconds. Kylar Mcaulay and Dominic Krabill both made it to regionals the day before and Dominic pinned a wrestler who was ranked 9th Ayden Pratt from Roscommon. Neither ended up advancing to state but they both had pretty extraordinary years. Laney Stover also wrestled for the girls on Sunday and had a very hard bracket but did well.
Tailyiah will now be traveling to Ford Field for the State tournament on march 3rd and 4th, last year she placed 5th.
Congratulations to our powerlifting team for their amazing performance this past weekend!

The Farwell High School's National Honor Society wrapped up their Teddy Bear and Blanket Drive today, 2/14/23. The drive started on January 11th and we had an outstanding amount of participation from community members and students. The teddy bears and blankets were collected to give to the Clare County Sheriff Department for them to give to children they encounter on scene as an offer of comfort in an otherwise difficult time. Thank you to everyone who showed their support by spreading the word and donating. We appreciate it beyond what words can express and could never do what we do without your help!

Go Eagles!
Last night was a real nail biter for the boys varsity basketball team as they played against Harrison. They ended up finishing the game one point ahead, though, leaving the final score at 47-46! Way to go Eagles!
The Eagles are flying home with another win from our bowling boys over Clare Pioneers this weekend. It was a rough start with Clare taking both bakers, making the score 10-0 favoring Clare. The Eagles came back with a vengeance in the Petersons, taking 4 point and totals in the first and 3 points and totals in the second giving Farwell a winning score of 17-13. Dakota Wardles took 2 points and helped put the Eagles ahead on pins with a 233 and a 188. Grant Lease had to leave early, but not before taking a point. Tyler Schmid caught his stride in the second Peterson and took a point with a 179. Great day to be an Eagle. Let's go Farwell!!!
