We held the initial NCFL meet of the year at the Tileston gym yesterday. There were teams from six high schools plus a CFFA team. The local fencers and teams did pretty well. In the A division, Coastal Christian went 3-2 and finished second. Their members were Oliver Galbraith, Mack Smith, Jonathan Hartness, and Taylor Kinsey. Oliver went 15-0 for the day. Hoggard High School was 2-3 and finished fifth, which shows how tight all the teams were. Hoggards members were Ryan Hightower, Michael Hall, and Natalie Schmidt. Ryan led the team at 9-4. Hoggard won the intercity match 5-4. In the B division a CFFA team of Emma Filer, Emma Graf, and Reaghan Juelke went 3-1 and finished first. Emma Filer was 9-1 while Emma Graf was 8-2.
Thanks to Brendan McConville, Jesse and Josh Harvey, and Michael Glapion for refereeing. A big thanks to the Harveys for helping with the tear down. We started on time and were done and out by 3 pm with time for an impromptu sabre pool thrown in. Hopefully we can get everyone else to run things that efficiently.
Short week due to Thanksgiving. Afterschool on Monday and Tuesday only. Homeschool on Wednesday, but no evening practice. No practice on Thanksgiving or on board Camp Lejeune on Black Friday.
Mid South is again hosting their Black Friday event on the 28th. See askfred for details.
November
29th is the 2nd homeschool fencing event, again at Oak Ridge. Fencers
can still join until January. Another fencer 13 or over would allow us to
have a full A team. Let me know if you are interested. I think you can
talk to our people who competed and you will find out they enjoyed it. We will make certain that everyone has all the gear they need after practice on Wednesday.

Keep getting Holiday request orders to Herman or I. A cutoff date of about two weeks before Christmas gives us a bit of room for mistaken orders, pick up, wrong sizing, etc.
