The Jesuit competitive shooting team came back with three team awards placing first in sporting clays and third in both skeet and trap. Varsity shooter Winn Moore 25′ also took home another medal, placing third in trap with an incredible score of 90. Despite the tough competition, the JCST gave it their all, showcasing their skill and determination in trap, skeet, and sporting clays. With only a narrow margin separating them from the Allen Eagles.
“Nipping at Allen’s heels.” – Coach Maggard
