Hubbard student’s love of the sport earns him a spot in national archery championships

A passion for archery has earned a fifth-grade Hubbard student a top spot in the state and a trip to the championships in South Carolina.

This year, Aaron Barrett, 11, placed third at the National Archery Program in Schools (NAPS) state tournament and second in Texas at the national level. His finishes earned him a spot in the championship tournament which will be held in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, in June.

“We’re very proud of him. He’s an academic archer, he’s a model student. I can’t say enough good things about Aaron,” said his coach, Jessica Stokes.
