(Todd Pirtle, John Mankin, Ethan Fetz, Lucas Smith, and Trey Hill) won
the Junior division championship outright by shooting a 967 out of 1000.
In addition to this great accomplishment, Austin Lowe (shooting with our
other Junior team) tied for the high overall score by shooting a 197 out
of 200. Our 4th and 5th graders also did well and shot their
personal best, finishing as state runner-ups. The pre-sub team
included Taylor Bolin, Garrett Sweeney, Sam Mathis, Nathan Smith, and
Hunter Vaughn. Congratulations!
New Football Website
MTCS/MTSU
alumnus Jason Brunner and his broadcast partner Jeremy Smith have
developed a new website devoted to Cougar Football -- www.thisiscougarfootball.com.
The site contains valuable information about our coaches, players, and
opponents. These young men also spent many hours during our fall
2008 football season recording play-by-play action of all regular season
games. They are now making CDs of these games available to Cougar
fans. Ordering
information can be obtained by visiting the new website.

Regional Trap
Competition
 The

preparation for the Tennessee State competition later this month.
The state is divided into four regions and we participate in Region 2.
In the Middle Tennessee Region (Region 2) that the event had to be held
in two separate locations because so many teams participated.
Because of the separation, the
winners have just been announced. Congratulations to the varsity
team for a third place tie with Coffee County by shooting a 474 out of
500 and to the Rookie team for FIRST place in Region 2 with a score of
430. Also  congratulations
to Taylor Bolin who was HOA (High Over All) in the Rookie Division
breaking 97 out of 100 targets (in the pouring rain I might add) and
Stockton McDaniel who was HOA runner-up in the Rookie Alternate
division. Also, our Rookies shot the highest Rookie score for the
entire state! Varsity team
members are: Todd Pirtle, John Mankin, Ethan Fetz, Austin Lowe, Trey
Hill. Rookie team members are: Taylor Bolin, Garrett Sweeney, Sam
Mathis, Nathan Smith, and Will Brown. Alternates are: Hunter
Vaughn and

Madrid/Paris
Trip
The MTCS trip to
Madrid and Paris in summer 2010 is sponsored by EF student tours. The more participants we have, the less likely we are to be combined with
another group. There will definitely be a subgroup going to Italy
together when the EF tour is over (extending the trip by about 4 days).
Current price including air from Nashville is about
$2400 for students and $2800 for adults. See the tour at www.eftours.com
tour # 678487.
