 On Saturday, 14^th of March 2009, the Harlan County High School JROTC Raider Team traveled to Williamsburg, KY to compete in the Whitley County High School Raider Team Competition. This was the first ever competition for the Black Bear Raider Team. The Black Bear Raider Team endured 40 degree weather and rain while competing in 4 events. The first event was the Raider event consisting of crossing a one rope bridge, carrying a medical litter with a person on it for 100 yards, and navigating a very wet and slippery obstacle course. This event was a timed event and each team was required to have 4 males and 2 females participating. The second event was a one mile relay consisting of 2 males and 2 females, the Black Bear Raider team finished with a time of 5:45. The third event was a mystery event where you were given the instructions of how to compete when you showed up. The event consisted of a grueling uphill climb of 150 feet for 4 team members consisting of 2 males and 2 females, and then organizing a puzzle of the JROTC Cadet creed into its proper order. The fourth and final event was a tug of war in a tournament format consisting of 5 females and 5 males. The Black Bear Raiders polished off the first two schools until finally meeting its match against the Jellico, TN High School. The Black Bear Raiders finished strong in all events, bringing home a second place trophy for the Tug of War event. There were 8 high schools that competed in this Raider Competition, Corbin HS, McCreary Central HS, Southwestern Pulaski HS, Montgomery Co HS, Grainger Co, TN, Jellico, TN, and Rutledge, TN.
