🌟🏆 Merino FFA Freshmen Shine in Quiz Bowl and Creed Speaking Contest! 🏆🌟
We're thrilled to share some fantastic news about our incredible Merino FFA freshmen! 🌾🎓
In an intense battle of wits and eloquence, both of our outstanding teams, Merino Team A and Team B, conquered the 16-team bracket to reach the Quiz Bowl and Creed Speaking Contest championships! 🧠🗣️
🏆 Quiz Bowl Championship:
Merino Team B, composed of the brilliant minds of Reb Heller, Lyla Wernsman, and Jericho Carr, faced off against Team A, featuring the dynamic trio of Tyler Everhart, Payten Spielmann, and Taylor Hutt. It was a nail-biting showdown, and Team B emerged victorious, securing their spot to represent FFA District 16 at the state competition in June! 🌟🎉
📜 Creed Speaking Contest:
Not only did our teams excel in the Quiz Bowl, but we also had remarkable individual performances in the Creed Speaking Contest. Kaitlyn Miller and Tyler Everhart showcased their oratorical skills, with Kaitlyn and Tyler earning well-deserved spots in the silver category! 🥈🗣️
We couldn't be prouder of our talented FFA freshmen and their dedication to excellence. Let's rally behind Team B as they gear up for the state competition and continue to support our incredible Merino FFA members. 🙌👏
Congratulations to all our participants for their hard work, teamwork, and outstanding achievements! 🌟🌾 #MerinoFFA #ChampionsInTheMaking #FFADistrict16 #StateCompetitionBound
NJC Holiday Basketball Tournament:
All,
Tickets for this weekend’s event are live on our gonjc.com website. It would be great if you could forward the link to your fans so that they can avoid standing in line to purchase tickets. Single day tickets are $8 and $10 and tournament passes are $20 and $25. If they purchase a tournament pass at the ticket window, they will also have to provide an email address or phone number to have the QR pass code sent to them. This will really slow down the lines so we really encourage them to purchase ahead of time online. We have a separate gate for those who purchase online. It is the same as the pass gate and their ticket will be scanned from there.
