Sophomore Showcases Fencing Skills
By Melanie Demb

Fencing is not a sport that many people partake in, but sophomore Garret Hamilton has a passion for the sport, while being a member of the marching band, the cross country team and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes club at RHS.

The sport originated in ancient Egypt and since then, has been practiced in various forms in many different cultures. There are three different weapons that can be used in fencing: the foil, the saber and the epee. These weapons are used to move and attack the opponent in different ways. Each type of attack has a point value that the competitor will ear n to raise or lower their score in a match.
