Congratulations to our September Students of the Month!
Football news:
Briggs Braves broke into the win column Thursday night with a 32 to 14 win over GrandView. After watching the 5th/6th grade team fall 38 to 0, the 7th/8th grade team jumped on the board first with Shaun Marrs scoring his first touchdown of the season. This would give Briggs the 6 to 0 lead. Jovanni Falcon put Briggs up 12-0 With a touchdown on a scramble, but the conversion failed. That would be the score at halftime after the Briggs defense stopped Grandview inside the 20 yard line. Grandview clawed back in it with a kick-off return to start the second half to make the score 12 to 6. Jovanni Falcon dazzled the crowd with a 72 yard touchdown run to make it 18 to 6 Briggs. Falcon would strip the ball on defense and race back with the fumble return for a touchdown to make it 24 to 6. Ozziel DeLa Hoya returned an interception 22 yards to shine on defense. Brayden Gruber scored on a 33 yard touchdown on a fourth down play from a pass by Jovanni Falcon. Josh Miegs, on a pass from Kane Rosas, converted the 2 points, to make it 32 to 6. Grandview scored late on a long pass after Ryker Jennings made the second interception of the night for the Braves.

During his visit, he generously donated a copy of his book, Chosen to Serve, which tells the inspiring story of his life and service.
We are incredibly grateful for Mr. Whalen’s contribution to our library and community. Thank you, Mr. Whalen, for your thoughtful donation—and most importantly, thank you for your service to our country!
