Recap of Pine City's Week 3 Trap Shoot

Coach George Johnson shares the teams recap of their week 3.

Competition Week 3

The Pine City High School Trap Shooting Team was blessed with bright blue skies, temperatures near 80 degrees, and light winds for the third week of competitive shooting.  For the second consecutive week, sophomore Evan Benolken led the team, shooting another perfect round of 25/25 and ending up with a remarkable 48 hits out of 50 targets.  Senior Bryer Berube finished second with another strong performance, scoring 43 hits.  Right behind him was Tristan Firth, another sophomore, with 42. 

Talen Reitan and Levi Kraft continued their hot shooting with 39. 

Five Dragons rounded out the top ten shooters with a score of 38: Dani Holmstrom, Nolan Johnson, Blake Berg, Colten Mohr, and Maxwell Stuckey. 

All of these shooters scored at the coveted varsity level, and several other athletes accomplished personal best scores. For example, seventh grader Alec Anderson shot 20 points higher than his score the previous week. 

The team continues to shoot well as they prepare for the state tournament in June, where thirty Dragon shooters will represent their school in Alexandria on Monday, June 16, competing in Class 8A.
