The Cumberland County Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) varsity squad placed third out of 56 squads in trap competition at the TNSCTP state championships held at the Montgomery County Shooting Complex in Southside, TN on June 4-6.
Over 1000 student athletes competed with their teams for state titles in trap (788 shooters), skeet (123) and sporting clays (152) with several students competing in all three disciplines. Cumberland County students compete only in trap.

The winning varsity squad with a 947X1000 total was the Jefferson County Patriots Blue squad.
High individual male shooter was Blake Triplett of the Henry County “No Fly Zone” blue squad with a 197X200.

Multiple scholarships were presented at this event, including $10,000 in funds awarded to five high school seniors.
Mallory Martin of Union City won the Davis P. Rice Memorial scholarship, the statewide TNSCTP scholarship and the Region I scholarship worth a total of $5500.
Amanda Server won the $1000. Region III scholarship award based on her essay, “TNSCTP – A Life Changing Experience."
She also won a $1000 scholarship from the Georgia Amateur Trapshooting Association for her essay, “What is Public Virtue and what does it mean to me."
Server and Keisha Smith were again named to the all-state senior division women’s team.
