Absolutely fabulous day for the Harper Creek Clay Target team this past Saturday at the Harper Creek Schools Trap Invitational @ Hillsdale College. The Beavers made sure everyone took notice that even with extreme winds, they were a force to be reckoned with, as they dug in and won. The Beavers brought home more hardware with the Varsity Squads medaling with 1st place, and placing 6th and 9th. The Junior Varsity followed that by medaling with 1st and 3rd places. The Intermediate Advanced squad medaled with 3rd, the Intermediate Entry placed 4th, and the Rookie squad medaled in 3rd place. Out of the 123 student athletes competing, Senior Decklan Craft won High Overall in the Varsity Division by shooting 98 out of 100 birds, and was joined by Freshman Eli Morris who won High Overall in the Junior Varsity Division by shooting 89 out of 100 birds.
