Maggie Wiggins, an ACA junior, is the 2013 Champion of North Carolina Field Archery Association (NCFAA) in the Young Adult Division. She was also the winner in 2012. She wins it with 60 shots at 20 yards from the target. “It takes a steady hand and good eyes,” says Maggie, whose dad Bob owns Bowed Up Archery in Maggie Valley, N.C. She’s been shooting since she was 9 years old. NCFAA official Roger Ammons presents the award.
Elyssa Bakker, a junior at Asheville Christian Academy, won the N.C. Federal Junior Duck Stamp art competition.
Bakker studies art with Bob Travers at Willow Wisp Farms Art Studio in Fairview. Her colored pencil drawing of a pair of wood ducks titled “Unassuming Beauty” also competed in the national competition April 19 at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Conservation Training Center, Shepherdstown, W.Va.
Proceeds from the sale of Junior Duck Stamps — which cost $5 and are available at your local post office — support conservation education.

What do The Cyclone, The Beast, The Millennium Force, The Voyage, and the 2013 Asheville Christian Academy baseball team have in common? The first four are some of the best roller coaster rides in the USA. How does ACA baseball fit in this group? Glad you asked.
Hunter Scanlan, Senior - Hunter has one of our best scoring averages on the ACA golf team and has been one of the most consistent players this season. It has been a privilege to coach Hunter this season. Our best wishes for him after graduation from ACA. Hunter plans to attend UNC-Wilmington.
