First, some business. For those
wanting to order gear for the holidays, please get orders to Herman or
me quickly. It usually takes a couple of sets of orders for us to be
able to get everything. If we could get the last order going out about the end of the first
week of December, that would give us time to receive everything and
maybe get things reordered if there are mistakes.

We had two epeeists and one epee/sabre person go to Black Friday event at Mid-South yesterday. Erica Julien did something at that tournament that it seems none of our people could do the week before. She beat Colson Combs. Ian Dube knocked her out in the first DE. She stayed and fenced sabre, blitzing an App State fencer, but again losing in her first DE. Brian Burns fenced his first couple of As and his first Olympian. Unfortunately it was Leslie Marx in his first DE, That ended 12-15, so he kept it respectable. Nicole Milewski won her first DE, but had to come back from 12-14 deficit to do it. She then ran into Tom Bryan (who finished second to Andrew Fullmer) and ended up eighth.
Things should be back to normal (or as normal as this place gets) as far as practice this week.
November
28th will start the next homeschool fencing beginner class. Hopefully
this one will not last as long as the last one. LOL

The
next NCFL meet is December 1st at Chapel Hill High School. We need to
start seeing what teams and who we will have. Remember if your school
doesn’t have a team, you can fence as a CFFA team. Foil and epee are
available.

The
Division qualifiers for the Junior Olympics have been scheduled for
December 8th and 9th at Research Triangle Academy. Entries right now
are very light. Check about December 1st, because they may make it a 1
day event. A good event to fence, even if you are probably not going to
JOs in Denver.
