   On Saturday 21^st of November, the Harlan County Raider team traveled to Campbell County Comprehensive High School at Jacksboro, Tennessee to compete in the Pine Mountain JROTC League Competition.   An early morning start, competing against 6 other high schools; Thomas Walker, Scott County, Grainger County, Whitley County, Southwestern and Middlesboro; in 4 different events made for an exciting challenge.  
   The first event the academic team, consisting of 1 female and 3 male, was given a 51 question test with 30 seconds per question.
   The second event was the Obstacle Course consisting of 2 females and 3 males.
   The third event was the One Rope Bridge, which consist of trying a rope across two points and moving the team members safely across. And last they had a Secret Event. 
   The Secret Event is unknown until you compete; it usually involves academics, physical, and leadership abilities.  The Cadets have to be ready for anything. These events also allow the Cadets from different schools to come together for fellowship.
   Harlan County Raiders brought home 2 first place trophies for the Secret event and the Obstacle Course. Our Harlan County JROTC Raider’s are planning another competition in January of 2010. We intend to keep up the winning streak and bring home many more trophies to Harlan County.
