Benjamin Logan fielded two teams under the guidance of Mr. Reames.
Students representing the school included Trinity Helton, Junah Tingley, Winnie Bodin, Marlee Butcher, Annika Chappell, Ashlyn Kelsey, Alivia James, Elizabeth James, Dane Reffner, and Michael Dickey.
The senior team, identified as Team #1, led the way with a runner-up finish in the overall standings.
