Back to Back Champions!

Our Football team competed in the Battle of the White Tanks Passing Tournament and went 8-0 defeating Sunrise Mountain HS in the Championship game.

Congratulations AGAIN Falcons!

Congratulations to Football Senior Long Snapper Owen Swirczynski for earning a 5 star rating!

A 5 Star recruit represents the highest tier of high school football talent, typically reserved for the Top 30 to 40 players in the country at the specific position.

At the Kohl’s Camp this summer, Owen was able to demonstrate elite accuracy, tight ball rotation and consistently fast snap times.

Congratulations Owen! We are lucky to have you for one more season before you move on to play in college!
