Archers line up at the 15-meter line to release their first practice shot.

As the winter sports season advances, the Woodford Archery teams are in full swing with tournaments almost every weekend and weekly practices. The Woodford Archery JV and Varsity teams both had a tournament at Woodford County Middle school on February 1st, and Woodford ended up winning. The archery teams practice twice a week so that they can be well prepared for their tournaments.
