Junior Boys’ Team Sparring (N-110)
Despite Team GOP’s powerhouse they only held a very slim lead through the Pre-Finale as they took on the FX school team from Ron Ferguson’s Xtreme Martial Arts in Virginia. No single player was a stand-out as scoring went from 2-3 to 6-5 to 9-7 giving GOP the narrow lead in the end and their second boys team title in a row. Taking third was the MVP Team of Colin Navickas, Frankie Fernandez and Matthew Okada who took a heartbreaking one point loss to Team FX in the eliminations. |

Junior Girls’ Team Sparring (N-111)
The junior girls team sparring was a blow out as Team GOP’s top guns; three 2006 point sparring world champions, destroyed Team TSS 18 to 6. The score however makes it look more lopesided that the talent actually was as all the TSS members held their own as a whole. This was GOP’s second year win for the junior girls’ team title. The Carolina’s Team SMA, consisting of Chelsea Hoyel, Kaylee Plunkett and Carolyn Bryant, took third.

Shane Baker pulled in the most points in any round, but the score was close enough throughout the entire match that the results could have gone either way.
