Suzette Lowe There was much to celebrate at the April 6 meeting of the Ripley City Council. The Ripley High School archery team was recognized for its winning the West Virginia state archery championship for the 14th year in a row. Coach Roy Bennett and Assistant Coach Clarence Canterbury spoke about the dedication of their team members. With the challenge that the health pandemic forced onto sports, this victory was especially meaningful. “It was a different format,” said Bennett. “These kids are used to shooting against someone, but this year it was a virtual tournament. They really stepped up.” Canterbury said that he and Bennett had coached many of these students in middle school.
