Gary Franklin
SPORTS EDITOR
Archery is in its third year as a Jac-Cen-Del recognized sport, and the enthusiasm continues to warrant much respect among all the teams they compete against in the elementary, middle school and high school level. This year on March 11 at the NASP Indiana State Shoot held on the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis, Jac-Cen-Del Eagle archers added more distinctive marks in shooting competitions.
