Isaac Sullivan - Wroclaw 2021 World Youth Championship - Bronze Winner:
Last month BFA Junior Isaac Sullivan competed in the 2021 World Youth Archery Championship held in Wroclaw, Poland. Isaac, one of the top under 18 archers in the world, competed in both the Individual Compound Cadet Men Individual Bronze Medal Match versus Shamai Yamrom of Israel and the Compound Cadet Men Team Gold Medal Match against India. Archers shoot at a target 50 meters away with the goal of hitting the 8cm diameter center ring. More information is available at World Archery.
I promise you this 18-minute video of Isaac’s bronze medal match makes for riveting viewing.

Spectator Comments from Friday Night Football:
"Once again, another FUN night with the student section at the stadium! I’m telling you, parents, you should be proud of your students; respectful, kind, fun…they were amazing! When a player for the other team went down hurt and they were in the middle of a cheer, they listened to the adults beside them (including me) to stop yelling, to be respectful of that player. Then clapped and cheered when he got up! They also stayed and cleaned up! I’m so impressed with them all and just had fun!! Thanks, kids!" - Camlin WestonFriday Night Football Fun:
