This year we are holding the Champiionship in honor of Horace Clarke. Horace Clarke was a Major League Baseball player. A second baseman that played for the New York Yankees and the San Diego Padres from 1965 to 1974. He was born on June 2nd 1940 on the island of St. Croix. The Archery program has been practicing and holding events on Horace Clarke Field located next to Arthur Richards Junior High School for years. This maybe the last time we get to shoot on this field as it will be developed into a temporary school this year so the damaged school can be rebuilt.
