Week three of the State High School Clay Target league saw the Panthers of NRHEG keep their top spot in Conference 16 even though second place Andover did close the gap a little. The team was led by rounds of 25 straight by Grady Murphy and Ned Bell. For Bell, it was his career first 25 straight as he led all local shooters with 48 out of 50 targets broken. Murphy turned in a 47 total score, as did Alden Dobberstein. The team also maintained strong representation in the conference Top 25 Averages. On the male side Clay Stenzel leads all shooters with an average of 23.83. For the ladies Eva Wayne remains in first, tied with one of the shooters from Andover. Altogether there are five female shooters and five male shooters from the Panther squad sitting in the top 25. Additionally, Clay Stenzel and Alex Dobberstein each rank in the Top 50 shooters for the state. The team has 2 weeks of competition left to solidify their position in the conference.
