Bonners Ferry High School Trap Team News, “Dukes Claybusters”: A couple from the team, Kamen Nelson and Colin Fairchild, went to Libby, Mont., for a Cancer Fund shoot. Kamen won a 25 bird event with Colin coming in second place. Great shooting guys! I was not informed until too late to take the rest of the team — next time.

At home, Ryan Carelli broke the high score today, 23X25, Wyatt Hathaway 22X25, Wyatt McDonald 22X25, Reenie Hathaway 21X25, Melanie Campbell 20X25, and Dane Hathaway 20X25. All great shooting.
