Fairfield's Brayden Miller is State-bound!
Miller shot a two-under-par 69 to tie for medalist at the Warsaw Boys Golf Regional, securing a ticket to play at the IHSAA Golf State Finals next Tuesday and Wednesday at Prairie View Golf Club in Carmel.
Miller went even on the front side, recovering from a pair of bogeys early on to birdie out the front on eight and nine, then shot two-under on the back, notching biridies on 10 and 18.
Westview's Silas Haarar also shot a 69 to claim the other individual State ticket.
Fairfield's team finished eighth overall at 335. Carter Kitson had an 85, Miles Nine an 86, Jasper Carl a 95 and Andrew Miller a 97 to wrap up the Falcons' team season.

Fairfield Jr/Sr High School counselor Tracy Stanger was recently saluted by the United States Army recruiters with a plaque of recognition for her support over the past year.
Stanger, an Army veteran herself, is currently working on a Wall of Honor at Fairfield Jr/Sr High School to recognize alumni who have served or are currently serving in the military.
The plaque to Stanger reads, “"Tracy Stanger, Thank you for your support and dedication to the United States Army during the 2023 School Year."
The steam train derailed Monday as the red-hot Fairfield baseball team found defeat in the NorthWood Baseball Sectional, a 5-0 result in favor of East Noble.
East Noble starter Luke Mast outdueled Fairfield's Keegan Miller, Mast with 11 strikeouts and got out of two big jams to keep the Falcons off the board. East Noble countered with three RBIs from Reese Rouch to win its first sectional title since 1995.
Fairfield concludes its season 24-7 overall and NECC league champions for the first time in a decade. Fairfield tied a team record with those 24 wins, and eight players were named All-NECC. Alec Hershberger has been collecting awards left and right, most recently named an Indiana North-South All-Star. Coach Darin Kauffman will coach Hershberger in the All-Star game this summer.
Fairfield High School's senior class did it's walk-through this morning at Benton, New Paris and Millersburg - a final spin through the halls of their youth.

Details on the flier for the Fairfield Color Guard Summer Camp!
Wednesday morning Millersburg second graders performed the play Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock, inspired by the book written by Eric Kimmel.
The second graders depicted a story of deception and the moral character associated with some of the bad choices told in the African folk tale.
Students portrayed several jungle animals that were featured in the Anansi book they read this year.
Fairfield High School was the host for a special party Tuesday morning as Rebecca Tarman was celebrated for her upcoming retirement.
Tarman is a 31-year teaching veteran, her first nine years at Syracuse Elementary and the last 23 with Fairfield Community Schools.
The celebration was put together by Stacey Mehlberg and Wendi Sparks, both close friends and teachers at Fairfield Jr/Sr High School. Tarman had a cake and was also joined by the FHS Life Skills students to add to the celebration.
Congratulations to Tarman on a fantastic teaching career and well wishes into her retirement!
The Millersburg Middle School eighth grade gave a preview of their Business Expo exhibits today. From product development and product pitching, to designing logos, business cards, and websites; from market research, to prototypes, product sales, and profit loss statements, it was all covered! Even job applications, these kids did it all.
Their hard work paid off as they used the profits to pay for their eighth grade trip to Louisville (see our post from yesterday). They will be sharing all they learned at their Business Expo tomorrow (Saturday), from 9 a.m. to noon in the MEMS gymnasium.

On Wednesday, May 24, Fairfield Building Trades will be hosting an open house event for anyone interested in viewing the 2022-23 Building Trades project home.
The location is north of Fairfield Jr/Sr High School located at 15670 CR 42, Goshen, IN, 46528, situated to the left of the gravel lane off of CR 42. The Open House will be from 3-6 p.m.
This year's 1500 sq. ft. home was constructed for Wayne and Zoe Stanger. It is a two-bed, two-bathroom ranch-style home. The features include walk in showers, attached garage, cathedral ceiling, radiant floor heating and cedar accented front porch.
The Millersburg eighth grade class spent three fun-packed days in Louisville for their class trip. Their trip was funded by money they earned through their Business Experience class. Among the places the students visited or experienced included Churchill Downs, The Louisville Slugger Museum, Mammoth Cave, a riverboat ride and GoKart racing.
Everyone wants a voice in the world, it's just a matter of how you speak. And for some, speaking is a little more difficult. Fairfield recognizes that by employing speech pathologists, like Faith Mahony shown here with her students at New Paris Elementary. Hers and others' work with our students help put our kids on the right track to have a say in this awesome world we live in.
Thank you to those who serve our students as we recognize National Speech Pathologist's Day!
