Weather cools clay target scores

The weather was a bit cooler and the wind had a bit more bite on the high school shooters as they lined up for week four of their Fall League competition.

But it was more than the shooters that felt the bite as scores for the team were a bit lower than a typical night for the NRHEG squad.  With just three NRHEG scores in the top 10 for the conference, it was the team from Anoka that put up top points in the conference. But, with a fairly comfortable lead in hand, this just meant a smaller gap between the first-place NRHEG team and their counterparts from Anoka.

The team was led by their current top scorer, Kyle Bartz from Waseca. Kyle also remains the top shooter in the conference with a 23.88 average going into the final week. He is closely followed by Albert Lea's Alex Romer with a 23 average.

"It will be fun watching these two duke it out the final week for both our top shooter award and the conference award," said coach Dan Sorum.

Also holding spots in the conference top 25 are Noah Neilsen (NRHEG) 5th, Tyler Raimann (NRHEG) 6th, Noah Alinder (WHS) 9th, Zachary Eustice (WHS) 9th, Collin Christenson (NRHEG) 12th, Tory Christenson (NRHEG) 12th, and Evan Dobberstein (NRHEG) 14th. Bartz also remains in the top 100 shooters in the state sitting in the number seven spot with three other shooters. Romer also sits in the top 100 as do Noah Neilsen and Tyler Raimann.

The team has their final week of competition this week where they hope to lock down their third conference title since the team's inception in 2011.

The team shoots on Wednesday evenings from 4-6 p.m. at the Owatonna Gun Club. The public is welcome to attend.
