FROM THE COACH
"Take every practice, every game, like it's your last."
- Kobe Bryant

Donovan Munlin
As captain of Lassiter High School's Fencing club, Donovan sets an example of leadership by his actions on the strip.
On Saturday, October 26th, Donovan competed at Georgia Southern in the Halloween Open and received his D2013. "I was elated! It was an awesome feeling. I fenced a lot of fun people. The tournament itself was great, and people there were really nice. I had some trouble in the beginning because my primary weapon broke, but overall, I feel like I had good focus. In the bout to get my rating, it was intense. My opponent was very skilled and very quick. In the third period it was 14-14, and I got a killer wrist touch on his fleche that won me the bout. It was neck-in-neck all the way through, but I'm proud of what I did."
Donovan plans on getting his C by the end of the 2014 season. He will continue to train at Lassiter and NAFC and compete in more USFA tournaments.
