MEET THE COACHES
Head Coach: Ernie Higgs
This is Mr. Higgs's second year as an archery coach. He has been involved and helped with the archery team for about 5 years. As the program has grown Mr. Higgs has stepped up to help provide more instruction and help the students and the program to continue to grow.
Mr. Higgs enjoys the discipline and the dedication that the sport cultivates in the youth of our area. Building students into reliable and community supporting adults is something he strives for in his role in education and as a of the community. Mr. Higgs thinks archery also supports his end goals, by students learning focus, dedication, drive, determination, and how to keep going even though you don't always get the initial result you wanted. You don't just wake up one day and start shooting 285. You work hard, you persevere through the next shot, through the next competition, and then one day you look back and you see wow I really did it.
Assistant Coach: Justin Harmon
Mr. Harmon has always been an avid outdoorsman. Hunting, fishing ,riding you name it. Anything that had something to do with the great outdoors count him in. He began with archery about 15 years ago. He got a bow and thought sure why not? Mr. Harmon soon learned what all was involved in archery; the skills and the discipline that it takes for that perfect shot. Mr. Harmon says, "it's awesome to be able to teach those skills and see these students learn the discipline, the patience, and the ability to follow directions that it takes to be great on and off the range.
