CFFA Update for November 15

CFFA Update for November 15
Held a large NCFL meet yesterday.  The conference was 6 coed team A teams and maybe 5-6 B teams last year.  Yesterday we had 6 men’s A teams, 5 women’s A teams, and 7 B teams.  For the men, Coastal Christian came in 1st at 4-1, with the win coming on indicators.  Oliver Galbraith was 15-0.  Mack (It helps if you put last names on the forms) was 9-3.  This was especially impressive as they were a two person team.  Hoggard was 1-5.  In the women’s A Hoggard was 2-2 and was led by Cali Pray at 5-4.  In the B Division a CFFA team of Emma Filer, Reaghan Juelke, and Nicole Milewski went 5-1 and finished 2nd.  Emma was 11-1 and Reaghan went 10-3.  Our other team of Will Golder, Logan Pfeifle, and Harry Shaheen went 4-2 and finished third.  Will was 10-2.  When our two teams went head to head it was probably the largest crowd of people watching a match we have had.  A big thanks to Michael Glapion, Kaitlyn Hall, the Shaheens, Golders, and Juelkes for assisting with set up and clean up.  Also thanks to Michael, the Galbraiths, and Samantha Milewski for refereeing.
Regular practices all this week.
The
21st and 22nd is JOs at Research Triangle Charter School near Durham. 
Saturday is for the junior events and Sunday is for the cadet events. 
If you qualify for the junior event and are young enough to be a cadet
you automatically are qualified for the cadet. The JOs are in Cleveland
over the President’s day weekend in February.  Even for those of you do
not intend
to go to the JOs, these are good events in which to participate.  You do
need to be signed up on askfred by the 20th or the fees double.  Samantha Milewski, Oliver Galbraith, and Reaghan Juelke are our
only fencers I see signed up.
For Thanksgiving week practice will be standard for Monday and Tuesday.  I would like to hold practice for the homeschoolers on Wednesday.  No afterschool or evening practice Wednesday and Thursday.  No practice at Camp Lejeune Friday.  I can come in for a Saturday morning practice if there is interest.  Let me know.

Mid-South is holding their annual Black Friday event on the 27th.
The orders for December (Think holiday gifts) will be due by Thursday December 3rd.

I will
be away with our fencers at the NAC December 4-7.  Right now I am still
planning to have afterschool practice, but that may change.  There will be Thursday night practice, but I won’t be there.  No Friday night practice at Camp Lejeune.  There may be Saturday morning practice depending on what the people in town want to do.
Herman Smith, Joe McLaughlin, Erica Julien, Samantha Milewski, and Brendan McConville are the fencers I see on the NAC entry lists.  If I am missing anyone, let me know.
No afterschool on Monday December 7th as I will still be in Baltimore.

I know it is a ways away, but start getting signed up for our next adult event on December 12th.  Currently we don’t have more than 6 people in any event.

The next NCFL event is December 19th at Chapel Hill High.
pax vobiscum,
