2025 Summer Weights is completed.
Throughout the summer the high school students came into the weightroom 1,949 times. This is 649 more times compared to last summer! The middle school students came in 1,416 times. This is 302 more times compared to last summer!
We averaged of around 93 students each morning and had 82 students make the 75% goal for the summer! 22 of these students didn't miss a single day and made 100%! This is 20.9% of the student enrollment meeting the summer goal.
This is the highest number of summer lifters Falls City has had since the summer of 2020 at 16.6%.
We had 314 students under the 75% goal or 80.1% of the total student enrollment. 233 students made it to the weight room zero times this summer or 59.9% of the total student’s enrollment.

Tiger Football just finished up their summer weights program for the 2025 season. The first picture was from 2022, my first year as coach. In grades 7-12 only 2 football players had perfect football summer attendance, John Craig a Senior and Jacoby Bangert an 8th grader. This year we had 20. Our team goal is to attend 75% of summer workouts. These 20 young men went above and beyond that goal. Football is more than a game, it is the ultimate work based learning experience and these young men have shown the character to get up and put in the work everyday rain or shine. Not everyone can be in the weightroom everyday, that is why we make the goal 75%. This year 90% of High School players and 74% of Junior High players made that goal. Both records for the football program. In 2022 during my our first year the High School had 31% and Junior High had 26% meet their goal. Every year these numbers have improved. We are extremely proud of these guys and the work they have put in to better themselves and to prepare for the upcoming season.
