🎙 THANK YOU, MR. FARSON
Last week, Naperville North Athletics honored a voice every Huskie fan knows.
For years, longtime Dean Jeff Farson has been behind the microphone for Huskie Girls Volleyball — and when winter arrives, Boys and Girls Basketball — bringing energy, warmth, and genuine care for our student-athletes to every match he calls. Before the game, we presented Mr. Farson with a plaque recognizing his years of dedication, and the Contest Gym let him hear what he’s meant to this community.
An educator, an announcer, and an all-around great Huskie. Thank you, Mr. Farson — this one’s for you.
