Even though Otto-Eldred Bird Dawgs fell to the Smethport Trap Team with a score of 168 to 182, it was a beautiful afternoon to break targets. The sunshine helped the athletes exhibit positive sportsmanship and great attitudes.

          The top tooters for the Bird Dawgs were Tayton Roys and Sebastian Zona (senior) each with a score of 23; Abram Austin (senior), Nick Brown (senior), Gavin Silvis (senior), and Korrie Turek (senior) earning a 21 each; and Braiden Greenman and Tyler McElhattan (senior) each with a 19.

          For the Smethport Trap Team, Colton Furgeson had the top position with an almost perfect score of 24; Brayden Cosper, Jackie Davis, Konor Miller, Elizabeth Slade, and Aiden Tanner each earned a 23; Damyan Baker earned a 22; and Owen Szuba finished out the top 8 with a score of 21.

          All teams in the Southern Tier League will travel to Bradford Gun Club to finish out the season with a 50-bird shoot on April 23.
