Attention NFL Pick Em: It was a bit of a rough week for most of the league, but Faroh Finch is not most of the league. He is the Week 14 #1 Champ by scoring 109 points. Way to go, Faroh. In the season standings Mr. Monier is still in the lead with Mrs. Henderson and Mr. Verner in 2nd and 3rd, then we have Sawyer Forsythe and Madison Kuethe battling for the highest ranked student. Picks are due by the end of the day today. Good luck!
Last night the wrestling team traveled to Edison to take on the Eagles. The meet started well for the Leafs as Emmett Hill and William Davis gave the team six points. Then Edison came back till Cyrus Babcock took the mat and pinned his opponent. The leafs would then get pins from Kaden VanAntwerp, Colten Mooney and Josh Stahl but still lost with a score of 42 to 57.
Hey Hoops Fans: Last night our B team traveled to take on the Bureau Valley Storm in their final game of the year. With the Storm weather in the forecast yesterday with all the rain we've been having, the Storm fed off that energy and blew our Maple Leafs right back home. Tonight, our A's have their final game at home vs. Glenview. Good luck guys.
