Russellville High School was host to hundreds of young archers from around the area Saturday during the first day of practice tournaments leading up to the National Archery in the Schools regional tournament in March.
Michael Foster, a coach of the Lewisburg Elementary School Archery Team and father to team member Kaitlyn Foster, an eighth-grade student, said the tournament was “good experience for the kids because this is the only experience some of them get in tournaments.”
