Fairview Middle School teams win championships and students enlist in National Guard

Fairview is celebrating a wave of achievements among its students and community members, as highlighted in the recent Board of Commissioners meeting. The Fairview Middle School boys soccer team has made headlines by becoming the Triad County champions after a decisive victory over Harpeth. Additionally, both the baseball and softball teams from Fairview Middle School have claimed the Area 15 championship titles and are set to advance to the state sectionals, showcasing the talent and dedication of local student-athletes.

In a show of commitment to service, three seniors from Fairview High School—Caleb Se, Wallace Givens, and Timothy Burke—have enlisted in the Army National Guard. Their decision to serve their country has been met with gratitude from the community, emphasizing the pride Fairview takes in its young leaders.

The meeting also welcomed Kaylee Heggie as the new volleyball coach at the high school, while expressing appreciation for Zach Rood, who will take on the role of head coach for middle school girls basketball. A special acknowledgment was given to Wayne McGowan, who has retired after over 20 years of coaching girls high school basketball, marking the end of an era for the program.

As Fairview continues to grow, the increase in youth sports participation is evident. The city is currently undergoing improvements at the baseball fields, with the Lions Club and local baseball organization contributing dirt for additional parking to accommodate the rising number of visitors.

Looking ahead, there is a call for better communication regarding paving projects and roadwork notices to keep the public informed and prepared for upcoming changes. This proactive approach aims to enhance community engagement and ensure that residents are well-informed about developments that affect their daily lives.
