Along with our local archery teams from Marshall County and Christian Fellowship, a team of homeschool archers from the south end of the county have also been lining up in competition this season as part of the National Archery in Schools Program (NASP). The Olive Homeschool Co-op team has been participating in regional tournaments including this past weekend’s Marshall County Bulls Eye Blowout with 18 archers ranging from elementary to high school level.
In their first eight events of the season, 8th grader Jireh Thompson has led the team in scoring in all but one tournament and has consistently ranked first or second in the middle school boys division. Sophomore Christian McManus, freshman Elijah Thompson, 5th grader Levi Thompson, senior Garrett Potter, 8th grader Sophie Holbrook and 5th grader Kaden Kortz all are consistent top scorers for the Olive Homeschool squad.
Levi Thompson has ranked first among elementary age archers in six of eight events so far this season. Christian McManus and Elijah Thompson rank among the top 20 high school competitors consistently through the first eight events.
The team will be competing in the NASP Region I Tournament Feb. 8 at Trigg County.
