Archery

In 2022, Corinth’s archery team ended the season at the State Championships in Jackson. They placed ninth in Division 2, which is aligned with MHSAA 3A and 4A schools. The 2022 season had a team of 25 archers with varying levels of skill and experience. Corinth High School (CHS) hosted their first ever home match, which was met with great crowds of parents and fans.

Brisanda Luna-Lopez was the first archer from CHS to sign a collegiate scholarship and she is performing well for Blue Mountain Christian University this season. Several former CHS archers have joined the club team at Northeast Mississippi Community College, which won the Mississippi State Championship.

Almost 60 archers tried out for the 2023 season and 36 archers made the team. Archery is the fastest growing school sport in the state. North Mississippi boasts eight of the top 10 schools in Mississippi for archery, meaning CHS is in a competitive division.

"It’s really an honor to get to coach this great group of athletes,” said Head Coach Brent Johnson. “This is my first year as head coach and Coach Lyles left some big shoes to fill. My message to the team has always been and will continue to be one of constant improvement. We are proud to have earned a spot in Jackson last year and were happy to be in the top 10, but we are not satisfied. This year we need to continue to progress. This year is our last year in Division 2 due to reclassification. Therefore, we want to end it again in Jackson and higher than ninth place.”
