As a business expands, errors are made. We at easternoregonsports.com initially started coverage of high school clay shooting at the urging of Crane High School. As the state shoot occurred, we covered the results. Unknown to us, Baker and La Grande competed apart from the rest of our eastern Oregon teams in the 2A division. We provided full coverage of the 1A teams, not even knowing a 2A division existed-our error. To the shooters, parents and fans of Baker and La Grande, our apologies. Congratulations on competing and congratulations to every single shooter. Now that we know the full scale of this sport, you will not be left out again.
The Baker Bulldog Clay Shooting team placed fourth and the La Grande Tigers were not far behind in sixth as the 2A division wrapped up action in the Oregon State tournament.
La Grande’s Makenna Shorts placed first in the varsity female division and backed it up with a first-place finish in the varsity overall division after missing only three clays in the round of 100.
Baker’s Jimmy Sullivan Jr. was only one clay behind with a score of 96 and a fourth-place finish in the varsity male division.
In the junior varsity shooting, Baker’s Connor Martin tied for fifth with three other shooters with a score of 86. The La Grande females again took the top spot with Marissa Lane taking first after a score of 82.
After taking a score of 81, Baker’s Charlie Boulter placed fourth in the novice male classification while La Grande’s Keira Counsell was fifth in the novice female class with a score of 63.
