This year the Knights will not be taking any cheap shots. We have been able to practice more often and have almost a completely new team. BUT, these cadets are just as sharp as the last. Cadet Pauley is the only one remaining from last year's team. We have newcomers: Davisson, Ridgway, Dawson and Sklar. Davisson has participated in West Virginia Wing's Color Guard Workshop and is the new Color Guard Commander. We have been practicing each event in a detailed manor, allowing no conflict in competition. Last year we had countless minor mistakes which will not effect us this year. We have our eyes completely on the competition - Charleston. Charleston has supposedly been winning the Wing Competition for quite some time. The Knights vow to knock them completely to 2nd place. We have studied their team well and know their faults. We have them pinpointed more than they could ever imagine. Sorry Charleston, but this year the Knights are going to the Middle East Region Competition!
Unfortunately, most of you know that we did tie Charleston for 1st Place. And the only reason they went to the MER Competition was because they had a higher written exam score. A pathetic way to lose, but we know in our hearts we won it! |
