Blackwell Takes Gold on Home Court

  

The Centennial Fencing Team hosted 9 schools in a league tournament on Saturday.  Dominating and undefeated on his home turf, Knights Captain Senior Kenneth Blackwell took the gold medal, defeated Walton’s Dylan Kim 15-12 in the final match.  Coach Gettler described Blackwell as being “in the zone” all day with incredible point control.

In the Men’s field of 77 competitors, 8 Knights finished in the top half.  Junior Simon Miller finished 17^th, winning his first direct elimination bout but dropping the second one 15-14 in a close-fought bout.  Junior Jackson Barnes also had his personal best, placing 19^th after winning his first DE bought at 15-14.  Close behind were Freshman Nick Bray at 21^st, Senior Captain Peter Wolff at 27^th.  Freshman Dean Bowler continues to show great consistency in his first season, placing 30^th.

In the Women’s Field of 47, Centennial Captain and Senior Holly Nichols was impressive with a 7^th place finish.  Newcomer Freshman Casey Archambault earned her first top 16 finish, placed 11^th with an excellent display of skill.  This qualifies Archambault for the Individual Championships in February, along with 7 other Centennial Fencers who have already qualified.  Freshman Maggie Fritts placed 19^th, and Senior Captain Debbie Lowder finished at 28^th.

The Knights have one more regular season tournament at South Forsyth on January 31^st.  Go Knights!
