"CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW VIRGINIA STATE FIRST DEGREE TEAM CHAMPIONS"

Our 1st Degree Team won the State Competition on 23 February in Richmond. We represented Area#3 (Districts 11, 12, 13, and 14) at the competition and competed against four other area champions.  Competition was keen.  All Teams performed well; but we nailed it!   Our professional demeanor, precision, attention to detail, outstanding execution, and near flawless memorization set us apart and a cut above our competition.  Great Work!
