Armed Color Guard commanded by junior Laiken Justice finished in second place. Armed Flight also finished in an outstanding third place and was commanded by junior Lucy Halter. The first-year drillers or “New Cadet Squad” was commanded by freshman Theron Cornelius and placed third in their event. The Drill Team placed in seven of the eight events, including one of the most impressive with the first-year drill members. This would be the breaking point of any lesser team, especially since the Bob Jones team boasts such a large contingent of first-time drill members.
The team had a lot on their plate, with eight different events to compete in. The hosts held an opening ceremony, then it was off to the races. Not the Bob Jones team, who has dazzled judges and placed at or near the top for many years. The team traveled there and prepared for a grueling day of precise and complicated performances that require them to be on a point so fine that most teams are unable to maintain it. This past weekend, December 3rd, the Bob Jones Air Force JROTC award-winning Drill Team competed at Hazel Green High School. Cadet Captain Jackson Crider, Contributor
