I recently had the opportunity to award the Scales Mound High School Trap Team a $500 scholarship to help support their program.
I’m more than happy to support this team. These students take their sport seriously, and they have a great group of coaches who put in the time to give them the opportunity to compete and improve.
The scholarship was made available through the Illinois Legislative Sportsmen’s Caucus, a group of lawmakers from the Illinois Senate and House that works on issues involving hunting, fishing, conservation and outdoor recreation.
Coach Jeremy Williams shared that the funding will help the team purchase clay targets and ammunition while also helping with travel expenses as students compete in the USA High School Clay Target League during the spring and fall seasons.
It’s great to see a program like this giving students an opportunity to learn the sport and become better competitors along the way. I’m proud to support the Scales Mound Trap Team and look forward to following their success in the season ahead.
