Coach Marie Voegel's Cross-Country team competed at Aurora's "Hot Dawg" cross-country meet on September 5th. Three JV boys brought home a medal and all three of our Varsity runners ran under 23 minutes, a first for our team.

Congratulations to Brynlie Yarnell for her third place finish and top time for the high school team with a time of 20:21.

Wesley Mister stepped up as the team captain and finished first for Forsyth with a time of 21:45. Damian Frazey and newcomer Ayden Cleveringa finished close behind at 22:22 and 22:39 respectively.

The JV team had a respectable finish including Simon Matson finishing in 3rd (23:02), Jeramiah Foye in 6th (24:52), William Davis in 8th (26:07), each earning a medal and Andrew Keen narrowly missing the medals finishing in 11th (28:13).

The Panther's football team started the season with a 30-0 route over Father Tolton in Columbia, MO. Prior to the game the players were treated to an MU football game and a tour of the State Capitol.

Student Council members organized a 9/11 ceremony on the football field to mark the 23rd anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon. The FHS MCJROTC presented the colors while the band performed the national anthem.

Mr. Wilcox's AP Chemistry students turn pennies into "gold". Brass coating actually.

This year, the Forsyth MCJROTC launched a new Raider competition Team! This is a tough, high-energy program designed to challenge cadets both physically and mentally. Raider competitions are comprised of several physically demanding events including: obstacle courses, one-rope bridge construction, and endurance challenges. These activities not only test their physical strength but also their teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving abilities under pressure.

The FHS Raider Team embodies the core values of discipline, commitment, and resilience. By participating, cadets learn to push their limits, build camaraderie, and develop leadership skills that will serve them in every aspect of life. The team emphasizes personal growth and fosters a mindset of "never quitting," qualities that go hand-in-hand with the high standards of our MCJROTC program.

While most people may be familiar with traditional sports, Raider teams offer a unique opportunity for cadets to experience military-inspired challenges. This program provides an avenue for students who are looking for something beyond the conventional athletic experiences, as it requires mental toughness, quick decision-making, and adaptability in real-world scenarios.

We’re incredibly excited about this team, not only for the personal development opportunities it provides for our cadets but also for the way it showcases our commitment to fostering well-rounded, future leaders. The teams first competition is next weekend, September 21, in Bixby Oklahoma. Good luck cadets!
