Since that defeat during the 2014 Area-12 Drill Championships, Nease has reeled off 29 consecutive drill championships \u2014 the last being the 2022 Area-12 Academic, Athletic and Drill Championship at Coffee County, Georgia on March 5. With eight straight state championships beginning in 2015, Nease established itself as arguably northeast Florida\u2019s most dominating high school championship program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Competing against the very best 15 Navy high school JROTC drill teams in Area-12, an area which includes all of northeastern Florida and the entire state of Georgia, Nease swept first place in all five Drill events, all three Athletic events, Personnel Inspection and narrowly placed second only in Academics \u2014 thereby preventing a clean sweep across the board.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nease competed in five previous drill competitions this year, winning at Sprayberry (Georgia), Lee County (Georgia), Martin Luther King (Georgia), Mandarin (Florida) and Flanagan (Miami, Florida).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis team has improved exponentially since our first competition last October,\u201d said senior naval science instructor Captain Scott LaRochelle. \u201cWe\u2019re peaking at just the right time with the national championships in early April.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nease\u2019s individual drill commanders chose the right time to deliver their very best performances. Isabella Rivera (Color Guard and Unarmed Exhibition), Kaitlyn Boggs (Unarmed Basic), Daniel Mahoney (Armed Exhibition) and Brodie Mongon (Armed Basic) led their units to near perfect scores during the competition.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the competition judges was previously assigned as a member of the Marine Corps Ceremonial Honor Guard in Washington, DC,\u201d said Master Chief Duane Spears. \u201cHe commented that our cadets\u2019 discipline and focus in drill was the best he had ever seen.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBeing on this team has taught me so much about leadership and teamwork,\u201d said Rivera. \u201cAs a freshman, I was just happy to be a part of the team. Now as a senior, I have the opportunity to command under pressure\u2026 and it\u2019s awesome.\u201d Her hard work paid dividends as she has already received appointments to both the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, Merchant Marine Academy, and a national NROTC scholarship to Virginia Tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several cadets also garnered top honors for individual performance, including Ben Prohofsky \u2013 first in Academics, Anthony Tucker \u2013 first in Male Sit Ups, and Daniella Camacho \u2013 first in Female Sit Ups.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo courtesy Scott LaRochelle<br>Senior cadets Brodie Mongon, Anthony Tuckers, Daniel Mahoney, Kaitlyn Boggs, Isabella Rivera and Emmelie Neff receive the Area-12 Academic, Athletic and Drill Championship trophy on March 5 in Douglas, Georgia.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By NewsLine Staffmail@floridanewsline.com Nease lost its last sanctioned drill meet in Area-12 more than 2,900 days ago.
