(Des Moines, IA) — Basketball isn’t the only sport with its state finals in Des Moines this week. The National Archery in the Schools Program is holding its state-level tournament Saturday and Sunday at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Zach Benttine the Iowa D-N-R’s archery coordinator, says hundreds of students from all corners of the state will be taking part in what’s now the largest youth archery tournament in Iowa. There are around 18-hundred competitors for bullseye and 660 for 3-D. Benttine says some kids will participate in both but they’re factoring about 21-hundred different archers will be competing and representing about 110 schools. Almost 20-thousand dollars in scholarships and prize money will be given out.
