FWC Competitive Shooting Team hosted an exciting competition at Ellis County Sportsmans Club this past Saturday. The SCTP DFW NW League "Cupid Match" was the first match hosted by CST with athletes shooting skeet and a challenging sporting clays course.

FWC CST rostered 19 athletes at the event to compete in a field of over 125 shooters from schools and teams in the DFW area. The team placed well individually in their respective divisions led by team high score from sophomore Madison Mishio.

Results Highlights:

• Tabitha Sikes (7th grade ) medaled with 1st Skeet and 2nd Sporting Clays (Intermediate Advanced Lady)
• Madison Mishio (10th grade) placed in the top 5 for both Skeet (5th) and Sporting Clays (4th) (Senior Varsity Lady)
• Top 10 Finishes in 1 or more disciplines: Angela Ma (JV-L), Allison Whisenand (JV-L), Morgan Christian (SV-L), Jackson Perdue (JV-M), Nate McPherson (IA-M), Cayden McCreery (IE-M), Colby Smith (IE-M), Braxton Hodo (IE-M), and Grayson Avary (IE-M)

In addition to the main league events the Cardinals ran a "Long Bird" fundraiser side event with Madison and Tabitha both winning their respective classes. The match was capped with the CST raffling off two very nice Beretta shotguns. We want to thank everyone who participated in "Long Bird" and our raffles and congratulations to our shotgun winners and all of the winning competitors. A special shoutout to all of our volunteers who ran the match smoothly.

We want to thank our platinum sponsor GRITR Sports and Outdoors for their support of the match. A special thanks also to Defender Outdoors Clay Sports Ranch for supporting the Shotgun Raffle.
