WACO, Texas - The Jesuit Competitive Shotgun Shooting Team finished in eighth place out of 29 teams in Sporting Clays in the SCTP Regional Championships at Waco Trap and Skeet.

In Sporting Clays Judge Platt had an outstanding round going on a course that was very difficult. He just missed a podium finish on the last station dropping two targets and shooting a team high score of 84 and finishing 7th overall. Hi score, along with Paul Thompson's 80 and Bunker Hill's 70 helped the Varsity team secure a 8th place overall finish in Sporting Clays.
