From start to finish, it was a total team effort—coaches and athletes working side by side toward a common goal. We came up a few points short, but that doesn’t take away from what was truly a fantastic day full of effort, determination, and pride.
Team Results:
HS Boys – 2nd Overall
HS Girls – 2nd Overall
JH Girls – 3rd Overall
JH Boys – 6th Overall
We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you who competed and represented Wildcat Track so well! Keep striving, keep pushing, and keep believing.

⚾️ Wildcat Baseball Senior Night ⚾️ An evening to celebrate two outstanding seniors—#8 Shortstop Karson Walker and #2 Pitcher/Outfield Isaac Rinne. These young men have dedicated countless hours to the game, showing an incredible commitment to their teammates and to the program over the past several seasons. Their impact speaks for itself—contributing to 3 district titles, 2 Final Four appearances, and 1 State Championship, helping lead the program to a 166–39 record and counting. Great leadership. Great work ethic. Great young men. We are incredibly proud of you both. Thank you for everything you’ve given to the Licking baseball program. 🐾⚾️

Some of the LHS FFA Chapter members attended the 98th Missouri State Convention held in Columbia, MO, where over 10,000 members and guests attended. Members had a blast getting to celebrate the accomplishments of their fellow members from across the state and hear the State Officers reflect on their year.
Day one started off with a stop at the Capitol, where members got to tour the Capitol and visit with Representative Cook. Later that evening, members attended the First Session of the convention, where they heard from state officers and the keynote speaker, National FFA Western Regional Vice President, Jael Cruikshank.
The second day of the convention started off with Josie Gifford heading to choir rehearsal, and the rest of the group attended the Business Session, where Avery Buckner and Angel McGuire served as our chapter delegates. Then members attended the Second Session, where they enjoyed celebrating the accomplishments of members from across the state. Later that day, members attended the Third Session where they heard the results of CDEs and LDEs. State winners get to represent Missouri at the National FFA Convention in October.
Day three, the last day of convention, members started the day off attending the Career Show, where they got the chance to connect with various colleges, tech schools, and employers from across the state. After the Career Show, members had the chance to take part in helping run the Career Show by participating in the Courtesy Corps, which allows members to lend a helping hand and meet members from across the state. We ended the convention by attending the Chorus Concert before Session Five, where our FFA Chapter President Josie Gifford performed. We are so proud of Josie and her dedication to taking part in the Missouri FFA All-State Chorus!
