Luverne will send 10 individuals to trap shooting state qualifier

The Minnesota State High School League trap shooting state tournament will be Friday, June 25, at the Alexandria Shooting Park in Alexandria.
The Luverne trap shooting team will send 10 individuals to Alexandria on Friday, June 18, to see if any of the Luverne shooters can qualify for the state meet.
“This is just a championship shoot,” Luverne trap shooting coach Scott Loosbrock said.
“We have 10 kids that are going to shoot. If somebody shoots the lights out, they’ll move on to the state tournament.”
The 10 individuals that will represent Luverne at the state qualifier will be Hunter Ahrendt, Morgan Ahrendt, Peter Baustian, Justin Dohlmann, Austin Henning, Jacob Henning, Camron Kopp, Chase Overgaard, Holden Overgaard and Grant Wieneke.
“Holden was our top male for the season,” Loosbrock said. 
“He has a possibility. I shouldn’t ever underestimate somebody. He shot a 21.8 average on the regular season. With that there is the possibility if all the things fall into place that he could go on. We’re going to shoot 100 targets. He’s going to have to hit 98 or 99 of them to have a shot.”
By comparison, the top individual heading into the state tournament is KayLynn Sieber out of Marshall who has a season average of 24.80.
The state tournament offers an opportunity for the highest achievers in the state to compete and be recognized in a state tournament by the MSHSL.
The MSHSL is the only state high school athletic association in the U.S. to recognize a trap shooting state tournament event.
