The Lebanon FFA traveled to Indianapolis this week with the Wesclin FFA Chapter for the 98th National FFA Convention. While in Indy, they attended the general sessions, met with potential employers and colleges at the expo and career fair, took an educational tour of a local fish farm, and had lots of fun in between. They also got to cheer on Blake Twenhafel, an Alumnus from the Wesclin FFA Chapter, who became the National winner for American Star in Agribusiness. It was a great week!

HS boys soccer had a tremendous season this past year. The boys lost Friday night to #1 state ranked Father McGivney(coached by Lebanon Alumni Brett Schubert) 7-1, but the score doesn't reflect how hard the team played and is not a reflection of their great season. They finished 18-7 playing a tough non-conference schedule. They went 6-0 in the conference this year and this group of seniors went 23-1 in the conference over 4 years and 59-27-4 overall for 4 years. That is an impressive 4 years! Senior Blake Goetter set a new school career shutout record of 35 shutouts Junior Deion Washington set the single season record of most goals in a season with 33. Senior Lincoln Hamm graduates as the all time career goal scorer with 68 career goals Great season Greyhounds and thank you to our 2 coaches who have work hard to develop this program into a winner, Head Coach Cameron Keepper and Assistant Coach Ryan Essenpreis Congratulations on your fine season Greyhounds!

On the boys side Kaiden Wheeler medaled with a 9th place finish in the Kaskaskia Division. The girls team missed out on winning the Kaskaskia Division Conference Championship by 1 place. Great job boys and girls!

Ava Garbe ran at the state cross country meet in DuQuoin on Saturday. Unfortunately, during the race Ava was tripped up by a hole on the course causing her to fall and not be able to continue in the race. We are very proud of Ava and how she has represented Lebanon this year in cross country. We can't wait to see her run in high school next year.
