The Rifle Team has always taken aim at their goals. They were on target in their achievements when competing against other schools around Tennessee and the surround– ing region. Although they learned marksmanship, it was not the only area of expertise that they pos– sessed. The teamwas taught how to properly main– tain their rilles and the safety rules when it comes to handling a gun. Attention! March! These were the commands that Cory Lovitt used every Monday and Wednesday to start Drill Team practice. The Drill Team's hard work and dedication was displayed in their perfected rille handling skills and foot movements. Their choreographed routines were a display of discipline and synchronization shown at all their competitions around the area. The Orienterring Team displayed their un– canny abilities to navigate the landscape. They were provided only a compass and a paper with coordi– nates in degrees and meters. rt requires all their skills to locate their destination and arrive in as short time as possible. Honoring the flag took on a new dimension since September 11. 2001. The responsibility of Color Guard was to present the United States and Tennessee flags with pride and dignity. The school united this year as a community. state. and country and the Color Guard glorified us as one. Color Guard& Drill, Rifle, &Orienterring Teams 107
