You won’t want to miss this one, so bring the kiddos and enjoy the day.
Gooding Young Guns
Last month, the Gooding Young Guns High school trap team finished 2nd in the Magic Valley Trap Shooting league. While there are only eight magic valley high school teams involved, this is the first Gooding team in history. There were 96 shooters and all of the Gooding shooters placed in the top 30 (only one shooter had an formal trap shooting experience). The team is run under the umbrella of the Gooding Youth Assoc. Inc. and many of these same kids will be participating in the 4-H State Shoot in Twin Falls this Saturday, June 9th. Coach Mark McDowell said, “We will have a team in the fall league as well.” Photo (left to right): Jacob Flick, Jim Brockman (advisor), Yogi Pierce, Shaneyee Walker, Coach Mark McDowell, Charlotte Brockman (Jr. Varsity 1st - kigh overall), Gus Hopper (Jr.), Tegan Baumann (varsity), Trevor Smith (Varsity 2nd - high overall).
