Andersen and Tarzcon Named Fergus Falls Triple-A Winners
The Fergus Falls High School would like to congratulate Noah Tarczon and Ellie Andersen for being selected as the 2020-2021 Triple A nominees. The Triple A Award honors high school seniors throughout the state who have a 3.0 or higher GPA and who participate in Minnesota State High School League sponsored athletic and fine arts activities. Both applications were sent on to compete against 16 other schools in Region 8AA.
The top two award finishers from each region will be invited to a recognition banquet in March where four statewide Triple ‘A’ Award winners will be announced. All finalists will also participate in an on-court ceremony during the Class AA Championship game of the Boys Basketball State Tournament. Statewide winners from Class A and Class AA schools will also receive a four year $1,000 scholarship.
FFHS is very excited to announce that Ellie Andersen was selected as the female Triple A representative from Region 8AA! This means Ellie is now in the top 8 in the state and will move on to compete statewide with Class AA.
