Our Team 1 finished in 2nd place at that tournament by just 3 points. That is like losing a race by less than 1 second. Now, we are gearing up for a seven tournament run over the next seven weekends. Our first tournament was held in Boonville this past Saturday and we will finish in Louisville, Kentucky on Saturday, May 14. We are so proud of all 96 archers on our team this year who have all made great strides and continue to do so. Mr. Reed & Mr. Clodfelter, Archery Club Sponsors
