| Trask Raider team took third place overall at Lee County High School (Sanford, NC) this weekend. Titans placed third in PT, second in the forced march, fifth in Land Nav, sixth in the rope bridge and won the first aid litter carry event against a field of 18 other teams. Team score of 17 points was five off South Rowan's first place 12 and two back of West Rowan's second place finish of 15. |

| North Brunswick (Leland, NC): Fourth after the first (physical fitness) event, raiders were bewildered by a one point reduction in first aid for not fully covering the gauze with the green bandage and losing time for recovering a dropped splint which, as it turned out, did not count anyway. The 30 second penalty for 6’3” Jonathan Davis kicking into the obstacle during the rope bridge event, then, appeared to finish us off. A course record time of 38 minutes and 43 seconds on the 5K forced march, however, followed by an unlikely run (not much size among Titan Raiders) of four straight wins prior to losing the championship pull to a larger, stronger North Brunswick contingent in the culminating tug-of-war event, put the Titan team in a tie with West Rowan for second place overall. West’s stronger numbers in another event dropped the locals to a very respectable 3d place finish among 19 competing teams. Titan entries in drill and rifle picked up valuable experience. |

| Formal Inspection of the Titan Battalion will take place on Thursday, 9 March. Invitations for parents to witness the opening ceremony, drill routine, color guard presentation and in-ranks portion are being issued now. Essentially, parents should be seated NLT 0920 and expect that the first forty minutes will be the most interesting. Questions are welcome. |

| Navy units dominate Hoggard High School (Wilmington, NC) drill competition; Titan entries show improvement. Cadet SFC Trevor Hutton commanded the armed platoon to the best showing of the day among Titan entries but, overall, the competition was too strong. Titans will continue to improve over the next four weeks in preparation for their next drill outing at North Brunswick High School (Leland, NC). |

Trask Raiders invaded Virginia for the third time in eight months with the same results; i.e., a championship. The latest victory, AC-Bragg's "Raider North," however, was in question until the very end. After "boloing" seven individual events of the Modified Army Physical Fitness Test and half of the Orienteering team getting lost on Pocahontas State Park, the Titan team was looking at an up hill struggle after the first two events. First Aid Litter Carry effort was solid and a fourth place finish in rope bridge gave us hope going into the final (5K Forced March) event but a plus 30 minute finish essentially dashed all hope for a top three overall finish. Little did we know that, in spite of our disappointments, the Rope Bridge score gave us a second fourth place overall and the FALC and 5K efforts were "best in competition." The ninth place finish on a very challenging Orienteering course gave us the necessary 20 points to edge Hayfield JROTC (for the second time in a row) for first place. Great job, Titan Raiders!
