What if contagious meant something that is truly positive? Don’t you think all of us can join forces to be responsive? How about starting each day with a laugh and a big smile? Wouldn’t it be cool if that became the new and hip style? And are you willing to show someone what they’re doing right? It could be what someone needs to move from darkness to light. Then, challenge that someone to go and do the very same, Igniting a positive movement versus negativity and blame. This stops things like spreading senseless gossip around town, Instead we now help each other when we fall to the ground, This idea could lead to new highs versus a downward spiral, Even news anchors can report positive stories that go viral. Now, please know this idea will never happen with one guy, It will take a committed team to move fhis forward and fly. And that will engage a multiplier effect to grow worldwide, Can you imagine everyone working together, side by side? Could it lead to people moving forward as one, arn-and-arm? I’m not sure, but it certainly would not do any more harm. So, the question is, “can we take this innovative idea all the way?” We’ll never know unless we start this contagious quest today!

Leading the way for the Ellis County team was Hunter Hinz of Italy. The Shooting Sports 4-H Club sent three representatives to compete in the inaugural archery competition at Texas 4-H State Round TexasaA & M University. Hinz won at Intermediate Compound Aided Division! Hinz, age -Up 13 atand soon to be Hunter 8th grader Italy Junior High, placed in the medals in three events.

He also fared very well in Wand and Clout and came close to the coveted all-around title. Hinz said to prepare for the state meet, he practiced several times a week in his yard by himself as well as attended weekly 4-H practices. 4-H coaches and managers are all volunteers and Hinz said he appreciates their personal time they donate to the club and to teaching him in his favorite sport. Hinz tells a funny story about how he started the week so strong that he started getting “stalkers” or “fans” or maybe just the parents of other kids showing up at his shoot times. They would ask to meet him and wanted to know what club he shot with. Then the big question would come about who was his personal coach. Hinz would say, “I just go to the 4-H practices and practice in my yard,” and the people would shake their heads in disbelief. "We have a great group of kids in our 4-H Archery program. They are willing to learn and practice to be the best archers that they can. They make me proud to be their coach" said Ellis County 4-H Archery Coach Jered Kimmel. Another archer from Ellis County, Katelyn Edgar, age 11 from Palmer, placed 4th overall in the Junior NASP division of Clout and 2nd in ladies. Ellis County 4-H also had shotgun representatives at the meet with Will Perry, age 16 of Waxahachie, placing 4th in Modified Trap in the Senior 1 division. In the Lewis Class, Michael Edwards, age 16 of Red Oak, placed 2 nd in Whiz Bang Senior 1 Division, and Garret Yarborough, age 145 of Waxahachie placed 2nd in Sporting Clays Senior 1, and Blake Bauer, age 16 of Midlothian, placed 3rd in Senior 2 Sporting Clays. "I am so proud of our kids, several shot their personal best and most showed improved scores over previous years. This is a really great group of kids and I'm very blessed to work with them." Coach Don Williams, Jr. ELLIS COUNTY 4-H 9 PAGE 10 SHOOTING SPORTS 4-H CLUB (cont’d) A highlight of the week for the 4-H kids and families came on Friday night when they had a relaxed cook-out and celebrated graduating Senior Ben Terry with a "senior shoot."
