| Since their tournament
championship in 1997, the Farmers have
never finished better than 3rd place
which they have done three times: 2001,
2005 & 2006. Farmington avenged last
season's opening round loss to Kewanee
with a 60-46 win in the regional
quarterfinals. That would be the Farmer's
only post-season win as they would lose
to Peoria Manual, the eventual 2A state
champs, 70-40 in the regional semis.
Farmington's
56-42 loss to Monmouth-Roseville in the
2006 semifinals was the only loss the
Farmers experienced until the Class A
State Semifinals.
Farmington's
2006-07 season ended with a loss to
Teutopolis, 51-38, in the 3rd place game
at the IHSA Class 'A' State Tournament in
Peoria.
A
championship run in the inaugural
tournament in 1946 meant Farmington was
able to keep a streak alive in which the
football team went unbeaten in 10 games
and the basketball team in 12 games.
Seth
Nelson took Tournament MVP honors in
1997.
After
winning the Macomb-Western Holiday
Tourney, the 1997-98 season concluded
with a trip to state where they finished
3rd.
