    Northside High School's Air Force JROTC drill team competed in a drill competition at Terry Stanford High School in Cumberland County. Out of 24 schools Northside received three trophies for their events consisting of: two third place trophies and one second place trophy. Darren Harris and Desiree Horner came in second place in the Male Individual Armed event.

   This is what Darren Harris has to say about his experience at Terry Stanford Drill Meet. “The road to winning a trophy at the drill meet was not easy. There was much time spent practicing and going over the routine over and over many times. Although the road to winning the trophy was not easy, the sense of pride and accomplishment fully made up for all of the hard work and time spent.”

   Cadets look forward to the upcoming spring competition as they travel to Raleigh and Elizabeth City. Northside will also host the 17th Panther Invitational Drill Competition on March 3 and the public is invited.
