The inaugural year for the Clay Target Club has come to an end. Formed in January of this year, students compete in the games of Trap and Skeet. We couldn't have done it without the support of Mr. Miller, Ms. Creekmore, and many parents. The students had a blast and were first and foremost, safe.
At the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation match, the team placed 7th, Turner Strawn placed 7th in Men's and Hailey Barnes placed 14th in Lady's.
Connors State College has a scholarship match hosted by their collegiate teams. The Trap Team and Skeet Team both came in 7th place. Freshman Gavin Steele placed 18th in Trap, Turner Strawn placed 11th in Skeet, Hailey Barnes placed 21st in Combined (Trap + Skeet) Lady's, and Turner Strawn placed 23rd in Combined Men's.
We are looking forward to a full year in 2021-2022 and we wish to congratulate our seniors as they move forward in life: Brandon Bergman, Gentry Cantrell, and Maximus DeVore.
