The SHS Rifle team aimed to win last week against Bethelem Freedom High School at the Pocono Pistol Club.
During last year’s Northeast Pennsylvania Rifle League, led by now alumni, all-star shooter Christopher Busch, class of 2023, the Mounties placed second in the league and sixth in the state. Busch was the second-best shooter in the entire state last year.
In their season opener, the Mounties just grazed the win over Bethlehem Freedom High School, shooting a collective 493 against Bethlehem’s 492. The Mountie rifle team lost several graduating varsity members leaving only one senior on the roster- Nathan Fritz.
Promising shooters such as Gavin Dunkelburger, 11, and Isabella Lisnik, 11, return to the team and Coach Patti Weiss with hopes of a successful 2023-2024 season.
The shooters set their sights on their upcoming match against Kutztown Area Senior HS.
