Elysian Fields archers target national title in Myrtle Beach
ELYSIAN FIELDS, Texas (KTAL/KMSS)—A group of Texas student-athletes can travel to South Carolina for a national championship, but need the community's help.
For the first time in school history, members of the Elysian Fields Elementary and Middle School archery teams have earned spots in the National Archery in Schools Program (NASP) World Championship, which will be held June 5 -7 in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Amanda Bellar is a parent of a middle school archery team member and contacted KTAL News to help share the team's aspiration of traveling to and hopefully capturing a national championship.
A GoFundMe was started to help the team's qualifying archers travel from East Texas to South Carolina. While they represent the school, the archery team is self-funded; everything from shirts to competition fees is paid by families, which is why supporting the team through its fundraising efforts is critical. As the GoFundMe description explains, all donated funds will be split evenly between the archers who attend the world championship.
Community members interested in sending these talented, hard-working, and highly skilled athletes who have 'spent countless hours perfecting their skills' to their championship destination can contact Coach Ms. Sabrina Scott or donate directly to the team's GoFundMe.
The team's fundraising goal is $2.4K, and they are slightly more than 60% toward it.

NBA Makes Major Tre Johnson Announcement
NBA Makes Major Tre Johnson Announcement originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The 2025 NBA Draft is filled with lots of talent, and is headlined by Duke Blue Devils phenom Cooper Flagg, who is the presumed No. 1 pick. Advertisement The Dallas Mavericks had a shocking win in the draft lottery, and jumped 10 spots to have the right to select Flagg with the No. 1 pick, bringing hype back to Dallas after the Luka Doncic trade. The NBA has announced that they have invited 13 players thus far to the NBA Draft green room, where top talent will appear with the chance to walk across the stage in the first round. Among the 13 is Texas Longhorns star guard Tre Johnson, who is a projected top five pick in the draft. Texas Longhorns guard Tre Johnson (20).Stephen R. Sylvanie-Imagn Images Being one of the few current invitees to the green room is a huge honor for the young guard, who looks to translate his explosive scoring to the NBA. Advertisement Should Johnson remain a top five draft selection, he would be the fifth Longhorn to go in the top five of the draft, joining Tristan Thompson, Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, and LaSalle Thompson. Texas has not had an NBA Draft selection since 2021, where they saw three players make the jump to the big leagues in Kai Jones, Greg Brown, and Jericho Sims. In CBS Sports' most recent mock draft, Johnson winds up going No. 3 overall to the Philadelphia 76ers, making him the highest drafted Longhorn since Durant going No. 2 in 2007. Johnson is counting down the days for his next stage in his basketball career to begin, and Longhorn fans will be tuning into the 2025 NBA Draft on Wednesday June 25 to see him walk across the stage in Brooklyn, New York.
