Steven Newberry of Gray Avenue Middle School participates in a
Yuba-Sutter Archery Association tournament at the Allyn Scott Youth and
Community Center in Marysville on Friday. Seventy student archers from
Gray Avenue, Yuba Feather Elementary, Marysville High, the American
Indian Education Program and the Marysville Charter Academy for the Arts
took part in the event.
Jonathan Gibson doesn't mind riding his bike over the bridge twice a
week, at times with a broken pedal. It doesn't matter that he isn't
actually enrolled in the archery class, either. He still attends during
his lunch and competes in the tournaments.
Gibson, a 13-year-old student at Yuba City's Gray Avenue Middle School,
was shooting in the Yuba-Sutter Archery Association's youth barebow
tournament Friday at the Allyn Scott Youth and Community Center in
Marysville, and “doing good.”
“It's fun; I like shooting,” Gibson said.
Ty Pelfrey, Gibson's teacher and archery coach at the school, got
together with Jim Graham, the director of the American Indian Education
Program of the Marysville Joint Unified School District, about two years
ago to start official archery classes for students
