It was a very busy and highly competitive week for the NRHEG clay target team.
They had to compete for their class title, qualify for the state tournament, and then compete in said tournament. It began Monday, June 20 as 44 team members traveled to Alexandria for the Class 7A Championship.
Unlike other sports, clay target teams compete by classes, one per day for eight days, for the right to compete as a whole league at the state tournament. Additionally, at the class championship, shooters are divided into skill levels including novice, junior varsity, and varsity. Finally, the top five scores for all shooters are used to determine who advances to the MSHSL State Tournament.
