On Saturday February 18th, Washington Middle school’s 5th and 6th grade made their way down to Benton, LA to take part in the Cupid Classic. This meet held teams from Texas, Louisiana and us (El Dorado)!
The 5th grade team came up short with their first loss of the season with a score of 3009. This placed them in 2nd just behind Benton’s own Intermediate School team with a score of 3086.
Individual rankings for Elementary are as follows:
Zane Walker was the top boy shooter for WMS with a score of 271. This placed him 4th overall for Elementary Boys. Abby Knighton had her highest score of the year shooting a 267. This was the top shot for girls on WMS’s Elementary team and placed her 2nd overall for Elementary girls.
The 6th grade team increased on their score from Regionals going from a score of 3006 to 3074. Avery Warren lead our team overall with a score of 270. That score placed Avery at 8th for middle school girls. Easton Hicks lead the boys with a personal best 269. That score placed Easton 9th overall for Middle School Boys.
“I’d like to say I’m extremely proud of both teams. I know we have been shooting a lot lately and they never seem to take the easy way out. They enjoy going to practice and take pride on their performances. That’s all I can ask for.
I’d like to brag on two young ladies, Diana Rojo and Anastacia Seymour. These young ladies also hit PRs this weekend. It’s good for them to see that hard work pay off. Diana was able to be in the top 12 and I know that meant a lot to her.
Now we start preparing for the Arkansas State Tournament on March 3rd.”
- Coach Ethan Kelton

The 5th grade WMS Archery team is off and rolling into state! They have already surpassed two out of their 3 goals set forth by Coach Kelton. Their 1st goal was to score at least 3050 sometime this year. Goal #2 was to win Regionals. Goal #3 is to win state. Their reward for getting two out of three is to shave Coach Kelton's head.
Congrats to our Pete Pan Jr. Cast!

This weekend the Washington Middle School Archery Teams had their Regional archery meet. This meet was to qualify for the State Championship tournament in March. The 5th grade won their division with a score of 3072. This score places the 5th grade team as number 1 across the state. The top shooters were Zane Walker with a score of 278 and Emma Odom with a score of 275. These scores were high enough to place Zane and Emma as number 1 overall for the state of Arkansas this year for the Elementary Division for boys and girls.
The 6th grade team came in 3rd for the Middle School Division going up against Barton Junior High (1st) and Taylor Middle School (2nd). They were able to score 3006 points with the top shooters being Avery Warren with a score of 267 and Lucas Vinson with a score of 257.
The 5th grade has qualified for the State Championship Tournament coming up on March 3rd by securing 1st place at this meet. The 6th grade WMS team will have to wait and see if they get in with an at-large bid. Results will be posted as soon as possible!
"I'm incredibly proud of both teams for how they performed this weekend. This is an amazing group of kids that show up and try hard every day in practice. It's nice to see that all of that practice time is showing up in the results of these meets. Hopefully we can see both teams March 3rd at State and keep the season going. As for now, we will wait to see if we make it (6th grade team). We have a meet this weekend at Benton, LA which always has some of the best teams in the nation. I think that that will help prepare us for whatever comes later this season for both teams. " - Coach Ethan Kelton
