WEST UNITY — Hilltop’s football team returns experienced players on both sides of the ball and looks to be more competitive this season than it has in years past.
WEST UNITY â On Nov. 2, four Millcreek-West Unity FFA members participated in the Sub-District Job Interview Career Develepment Event (CDE). Alora Siegel placed first in Division 1, Ian Hoffman placed first in Division 3, Kodi Brenner placed first in Division 4 and Laurynn Wieland placed third in Division 4. Those members who placed first in their divisions then moved on to the virtual district competition on Nov. 10. In district competition, Siegel placed third in Division 1, Hoffman fifth in Division 3, and Brenner ninth in Division 4.
The annual Millcreek-West Unity FFA fruit sale fundraiser proved to be a record breaking year for the chapter. This could not have been accomplished without the support of the community members and chapter supporters. The donations have been allocated toward supporting membership dues, fees, conferences, conventions, camp, and the Hilltop Food Pantry.
The District 1 FFA Chapters recently competed in four Career Development Events (CDEs) that were conducted by the Ohio FFA.
In the Nature Interpretation CDE students identified song birds, wild flowers, amphibians and reptiles. They took a test that included use of tools and equipment used by naturalists. Delta placed first, Evergreen second, Fairview third and Oregon-Clay fourth. Individual winners were: first â Kendal Vasquez, Delta; second â Jazmin Todd, Evergreen; third Brooke Phillips â Fairview; and fourth â Kylee Herrick, Oregon Clay.
In the Agricultural Technology and Mechanical Systems CDE the students were tested on: arc/wire welding, cutting, power and hand tools, and a micrometer and depth gauge. They identified lubricants and coolants, personal safety equipment, diesel fuel system parts, hydraulic system parts and hand tools. Ayersville placed first in the district, Pettisville placed second, Patrick Henry was third and Liberty Center was fourth. In
