🏆 We have a Junior State Champion of Champions! 🏆 #1 top Shooter in the whole state of Arkansas!

Congratulations to Henry “Hound Dog” Semmler! I cannot begin to express how proud I am of this incredible accomplishment. Your hard work, dedication, and countless hours of practice have paid off in a huge way. It has been an honor to watch you grow into such an outstanding shooter, and this achievement is well deserved!

I also want to recognize my junior high team: Henry, Kyptin, Connor, Luke, and Nash. You should all be extremely proud of your performance at State. Out of more than 400 teams across Arkansas, only 64 teams qualified, and you fought your way into the second round and finished among the top 32 teams in the state. That is an incredible accomplishment and a testament to your hard work and determination.

I am so proud of each of you and excited to see what next season has in store! 💙Go Outlaws💙

Today was Senior High Trap Regionals.
It may not have been the outcome we hoped for, but I could not be more proud of the Dierks Trap Team Senior High shooters. Our Senior High Team 1 (Jasper Pugh, Linneā Thompson, Paige Eason, Maxton Green and Griffin Shankles) missed going to state by just one target, finishing with a score of 218. So close, yet such an incredible accomplishment.

It was bittersweet watching Linneā and Paige shoot their final regionals as seniors. They have meant so much to this team, and they will be dearly missed next year. I look forward to watching them shoot at college.

I also want to give a huge shoutout to our second Senior High team (Payeton Bagley, Izabelle Thompson, Connor Quinn and Avery Koon). Even though they were down a shooter, they fought hard and placed 97th out of 127 teams. Words cannot express how proud I am of their determination and heart.

A huge thank you to our coaches, Christian Jennings and Dana Eason, for all of their hard work and dedication to this team. We truly could not do it without them, and we are beyond grateful for everything they do. We will definitely miss Dana next year!

As our season comes to an end, it is definitely bittersweet. We had so much fun, shared countless laughs, made unforgettable memories, and saw some great shooting along the way. I am so proud of each and every one of our Senior High Trap Team members.
