The Varsity Lady Falcons had a GREAT season. They finished the conference with a 4-4 record and overall 8-8 record. The girls became known in the conference as a "Fast Scrappy" Team that just wouldn't quit. They worked hard as a team and strived for the best. The following players were awarded for All Conference: Tory Byrd, Hunter King, and Janelle VanDeRiet. All Tournament was Tory Byrd and Christian Character was Tory Byrd.
The JV Lady Falcons also had a GREAT season finishing with a 6-2 record! The ladies worked hard in practice and brought energy and excitement to the games that transformed into a successful season. We look forward to the future of the Lady Falcons Basketball with these ladies!

Volleyball
Volleyball:DIG, VOLLEY & SCORE!
What a great building season for the Foothills Falcons Volleyball Team! Several new players joined the team this season and old positions on the court were filled with new athletes. The team learned their new positions and played with a lot of heart. Hunter King was the lone captain and most experienced player. Hunter was able to do outside hitting this year and lead the team in assists as setter. Jasmine Acord was our other senior and played outside hitter. Kelsey Young and Allie Nelson, were our sophomores and both were great middle hitters. Kelsey also played superb back row defense leading the team in digs. The freshman athletes were Bailey Ferda, Ally Pennell, Sarah Byrd, Victoria Asmussen, Dani Campbell, and Junga Kim. Bailey did some setting this year and was a strong outside hitter. Sarah played full time on both JV and Varsity and was both a right side hitter and occasional setter for JV. Ally Pennell played JV setter, right side hitter and varsity defense. Victoria played right side hitter and lent lots of experience to the team. A first year volleyball player, Dani Campbell became a serious threat as JV middle blocker. Junga Kim played right side and defense. Delainie Hall was our only eighth grader and did a great job as JV outside hitter and played some varsity back row defense as well. Regular season team records were JV 4 - 9 and Varsity 9 -8. The All Conference players this year was Hunter King. The Chistian character award was given to Kelsey Young. Congratulations to the these players!

Soccer
Soccer: Give, Go and GOAL!
The 2011 Foothills soccer season was a rebuilding year as Trevor Orso and Andrew Johnson were the only returning starters from 2010 and the league went from playing a seven man game to an eight man game. With six new starting positions to fill, it has been a year of building chemistry and teamwork. This year's team consists of seniors Trevor Orso, Skyler Klakken, and Ben Kuiper; juniors Andrew Johnson and Jake Zuidema; sophomores Elliot Abrams, Kolter Lund, Nathan Orso, and Owen Madsen; freshmen Konner Lund, Dalen Johnson, and Kendall Compere; eighth graders Brandon Gray, Bryce Miller, Ian Clark, and Shane Wood. Dustin Bauer served as assistant coach this year, and Caleb Orso was team manager. Everyone is grateful for their time and effort. The Falcons placed second in the MCAA State Tournament in Laurel. The All Conference & All Tournament athletes include: Trevor Orso, Skyler Klakken and Andrew Johnson. The Christian Character award was given to Nathan Orso.
