The team consisted of Adam Kramer, Cole Petersen, Seth Woods, Carson Schmid and Bryce Schmid, shooting a team total of 157. This score was low enough for the team to take their first Jamboree win in 3 years. To say I'm proud of these boys is an understatement. The team has been trending in the right direction for weeks and to finally see results like this is an amazing accomplishment. We had two Bulldogs shoot low today out of 40 players Freshman Carson Schmid & Junior Cole Petersen with outstanding 37's next was Bryce Schmid with a stellar 40 and rounding off the team score is Junior Adam Kramer with a solid 43.
