Concentration and practice, lots of practice, were a must in the near flawless performance of Franklin Heights juniors Robert Choate (left) and Sean Hartley. The Navy JROTC cadets took top honors in the exhibition duet category of the Feb. 26 Westland High School JROTC competition. Their routine involved marching as well as twirling, tapping and tossing their weapons. During the event, Choate finished second and Hartley in third place in the advanced knockout competition. All the cadets in their class (approximately 130) are lined up at once and drilled and inspected by a number of judges. The cadets are then tapped out one by one for any imperfections found by the judges, and gradually eliminated until one is left standing.
