With two tournaments finished, our season has officially started. In all we will have 15 tournaments for the year. With 12 other AAC schools. We want to extend our thanks to the parents for sacrificing their time to ensure that the kids make it to practices and tournamnets. Without your support, our program wouldn't exist. 👏 Our first tournament of the season wasn't mandatory, and yet we had a number of archers participate. It was a long, EARLY drive to Philo High School, where our archers shook off the jitters and shot well. You should all be very proud of yourselves!!
