1st place overall at UGA Invitational (fourpeat!)

This past Saturday, on October 21st, we competed at the fourth annual UGA Invitational. Despite our top-scoring team having only 10 of a maximum 15 team members, we narrowly won the tournament over rivals Brookwood High School (reigning state champion) and a stacked GSMST (4th at state). This year marks our fourth consecutive win at UGA.

In three weeks we compete at Forsyth Central High School, against a 47-team field - our last fall tournament of the season.
