Brooke Drones teams were awesome again this past weekend. Recognizing the accomplishments of both the BMS and BHS team members...

Brooke High's Kyle Chapa teamed up with BMS pilot Miles Hotlosz to represent us in the elimination rounds.

Jimmy DeMaria from BMS had the higher qualifying scores and chose Andrew Mockbee in the elimination rounds.

Jimmy and Andrew piloted their teams in near perfect rounds scoring over 200 points per round to beat out the other Brooke teams and the Morgantown teams to then claim the Teamwork Championship.
