TCHS Archery Team Opens Season

Archers toe the line.
It was a chilly 7 a.m. departure from The Castle as the Silver Knights Archery Teams made the two-hour trek to Elkview Middle School for the season opener. With the largest group of archers to date, the Silver Knights were able to fill two teams and neither disappointed. With 16 new archers in the group the nerves and anticipation definitely factored in. However, the teams were able to come away with fourth and sixth place finishes. The 4th placed team finished with a score of 3,082 and the sixth placed team score was 2468.
Breaking the 3.000pt barrier right off the bat is always promising for the archers, and with some fine tuning they will get to that 3,200-3,300 point goal, which would almost guarantee them a spot at States. Top Female Archer was Nikki Stoller with a score of 265 and Top Male Archer was Jon Throckmorton with a score of 273.
The Knights were scheduled to travel to the Triadelphia Highlands Sports Complex on January 11 to compete at the 7th Annual “Shot In The Park” tournament. Unfortunately this event was canceled.
