My High School Rifle Team

[Aragorn243]

Tonight, was graduation night, seven graduated, six of them with honors of some sort, several with multiple honors. We finished 10-4 this year, which was not our best year record wise, but we actually were section co-champions for the first time since I've been head coach. The sad part about that is, we didn't know it until the season was long over. Our league did away with tie breakers several years ago and neglected to tell the Rifle league about it. So, we went the normal tie breaker route and finished third on the second tiebreaker. All three teams were 1-1 against each other and we had the lowest match average score of the three. We were the team however who created the three-way tie by beating the only team capable of finishing 11-3 in the last match of the season. Having an end of season discussion with my athletic director and mentioned the tie and he said we don't have tie breakers anymore and we were co-champions. So a trophy is coming, a banner is coming, and they were honored twice at graduation tonight, but it still isn't he same as getting the award at our league tournament. We won that two years ago but didn't get photos then either due to it being the Covid nightmare. I've lost out on tie breakers twice before, so this was a nice surprise.
