LHS ends in sixth place
Luverne trap shooting coach Scott Loosbrock thought his team shot well in the Class 2A-Conference 7 this season.
His team finished with 6,757.5 points (sixth) out of eight teams. Wheaton High School placed first with 10,416 points.
“The season went well,” Loosbrock said. “There was some really good shooting in spite of the weather conditions we’ve had.”
Individually, senior Hunter Ahrendt tied for fourth in the conference among boys’ shooters. He shot an average of 23.6 out of a round of 25. Overall he finished 74th among all high school shooters in the state.
In the girls’ division, senior Cheyenne Schutz finished seventh with an average of 19.9. Teammates in the Top 25 included Piper Wynia (eighth), Kayetlin Huiskes (16th ), Morgan Bonnett (19th ) and Rayann Remme (24th).
“I am really proud of our seniors for being leaders for the young kids,” Loosbrock said. “We are going to lose some top-notch shooters, but we also have some kids that are going to fill those spots really well.”
Luverne will have 15 shooters at the Minnesota State Trap Shooting Championship next month including Hunter Ahrendt, Cash Bonnett, Alex DeWispelaere, Trygve Gangestad, Jacob Henning, Samuel Honerman, Chase Matthiesen, Liam Murphy, Chase Overgaard, Holden Overgaard, JT Remme, Rayann Remme, Cheyenne Schutz, Grant Wieneke and Piper Wynia.
