The Farmington High School competitive cheer team got the most votes in from their fans this week and are the FM 95 Hometown Heroes of the Week with Advanced Plumbing and Mechanical in Monmouth, the Regional Office of Education, and Martin, your local John Deere dealer!

We met up with the team to present the Farmers with a plaque in their honor for the trophy case, each of the team members received a Hometown Heroes t-shirt from Go Van Gogh’s, and the team now advances for a chance to win $1,000 for their high school’s athletic department when we wrap up the winter sports season!

And congratulations to the Farmers on advancing to the IHSA State Cheer Finals at Grossinger Motors Arena in Bloomington! Out of the 125 teams in their division, they advanced out of Sectionals as one of the Top 25 teams in the state! On Friday (2/07) during the first round, they finished outside of the Top 10 and did not advance to the final round on Saturday. But way to go Farmers on a hugely successful season!
