Congratulations to Graham Schardt on earning a 14th place medal at the junior high state cross country meet! Competing in the Class C/D division against 100 other runners is no small feat, especially as a 7th grader racing against older competitors. I am so proud of him, and it is clear that his hard work, discipline, and dedication are already paying off. Coach Wert,I, and the Tri County community are all behind you and excited to see you keep growing as a runner!

The Trojans rolled to a 74-14 victory over Fairbury last night to improve to 5-2 on the season!

The night got started in a hurry as Garrett Smidt returned the opening kickoff 65 yards for a touchdown!

Offensively, Trevor Kapke led the way with 101 rushing yards and a touchdown on just 6 carries. He was also perfect through the air, completing all 5 passes for 165 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Owen Lewandowski had a record-breaking night! He hauled in 5 receptions for 165 yards and 4 touchdowns, breaking the school record for touchdown receptions in a single game, previously held by his brother, Grant! Owen also broke the school record for receiving yards in a season, now sitting at 449 yards and counting!

Defensively, the Trojans were led by Nick Sullivan with 8 tackles and 1 tackle for loss, while Owen Lewandowski added 8 tackles and 2 tackles for loss.

The Trojans return to action Friday the 16th at Falls City.

Go Trojans!

Great job by all the junior high runners, whose season ended today! Mary Holtmeier medaled in 13th place. Graham Schardt led the boys with a 3rd place finish, and Elijah Rosenthal took home a 7th place medal. Thank you for such a fun season. Coach Wert and I truly enjoyed coaching each and every one of you!

Tri County boys are SNC conference champions! The boys were ready to compete, and five boys placed in the top 10. Sammy Holsing is the conference champion, followed by Devon Rasmussen with a 3rd place medal, Dawson Siems with a 4th place medal, Zane Brandt with a 5th place medal, and Riley Schardt with an 8th place medal. Henry Holtmeier finished his cross country career today. Thank you for the memories! The girls placed 4th overall, which is impressive since we did not have the full squad today. Placing for the girls was Graysha Brandt in 11th. Next up is districts next Thursday at McCool Junction. Let's keep things rolling!

We have had a lot of fun in Kindergarten! We are learning something new everyday. Playing is one way that we learn and have fun. We have been playing board games like Trouble, HiHo Cherry-O, and I Spy. Playing helps us practice problem solving and sharing skills. Everyday is a new adventure in Kindergarten!

Happy National Coaches Day!

Today, we celebrate the incredible coaches who pour so much into our students at Tri County! We are so appreciative of our teachers and TC staff members who step up to serve in this role, as well as the coaches in our community who generously give their time, energy, and passion to our kids.

We know the relationships our coaches build with our students go far beyond the court, field, course, mat, or track. You teach lessons about teamwork, perseverance, discipline, confidence, character, and so much more, lessons that our students will carry with them long after the final whistle.

We are thankful for you every single day, but today we celebrate YOU!

Thank you for investing in our kids and helping them become the very best versions of themselves. Go Trojans!
