With the return of much nicer weather, the NRHEG Clay Target team turned in some very strong scores.
Led by the season's first perfect 25/25 from Zach Eustice and a season-high 47/50 as well, the rest of the team turned in an average of 41/50 for the top shooters and a total team average of 36/50 in week three of the season.
The effort was enough to shave a point off of the second-place team from Woodbury. However, a stronger showing from the conference-leading team from Brainerd kept them in command of Conference 6A.
"With just two weeks of competition left in the season, we will need Brainerd to stumble a bit if we are going to catch them,” said NRHEG coach Dan Sorum.The Panthers’ other top shooters from the week included Cordell Peterson with a 46/50, Noah Lund with a 45/50, and Braden Routh with a 44/50. Larissa Petersen and Haylie Mosher both slipped a bit in their total season average but remain firmly placed in the top 25 female shooters in the state.
