DEJA VU: Down memory lane...past ILM toward Myrtle Beach to Leland, NC. Past the Food Lion, Hardees and Citgo gas station to North Brunswick High School--sign the guest book if you remember. Been here before...took third two years ago when an undersized but awfully quick group of raiders surprised three larger, stronger teams to capture an unlikely second place in the final pull of the final (tug-of-war) event to, along with strong performances in first aid and the 5K forced march, earn the third place overall trophy at that competition. The 2010 Titans did one better on Saturday. Third in PT, second (less than two seconds out of first) in first aid/litter carry and "respectable" finishes in the 5K and rope bridge resulted in a Second Place finish overall in a field of 18 teams. Titan highlights included Rudolfo Ramos' team-high PT score o 247 and Chris Woodcock's leading the Titans to a perfect score on the first aid/litter carry event. Next up for the Raider Team is Harnett Central on 13 March. This event will attract some of the region's finest to include today's winning team (Lee County) and the reigning champions of both Raider North (Magna Vista out of Virginia) and Raider South (Fred T. Foard from the Hickory, NC,area). Upstart is, we have got to get better and fast. Expect full push over the iterim to improve rope bridge and 5K abilities. For the moment, however, good job Raider Team!
BREAK:
Titan drill team showed signs of improvement this weekend at North Brunswick. Color Guard entry and Squad Armed were the local's strongest entries. Team will compete again at the East Duplin drill, rifle and raider meet in April. CSM Jacob Stubbs has accepted the challenge of getting the team ready. Opportunity exists to make history!

Thirteen memebers of the Titan Battalion were guests of our senior program recently for a campus tour, tail-gate party and seats to what turned out to be a thrilling college basketball game between the women of NCSU and Wake Forest. Of the 13 Titan travelers, more than half are seriously considering State as their college of choice. |
