11th out of 51 Teams.
One point.
That's all that separated the Millcreek BB Gun Team from a Top 10 finish at the 2026 Daisy National BB Gun Championship in Rogers, Arkansas.
While it's easy to focus on that single point, we're choosing to focus on something much bigger.
Three years ago, this program was just getting started.
This season marked only our second trip to the Pennsylvania State Championship, where these seven incredible shooters earned a 2nd Place finish, qualifying to represent the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on the national stage.
Last week, they stood shoulder-to-shoulder with 51 of the best teams in the country and proved they belonged.
When the final scores were posted, Millcreek finished an incredible 11th Overall.
Individual National Rankings
Out of 251 Championship Shooters:
Scarlett – 17th
Delilah – 74th
Liam – 79th
Matthew – 83rd
Benjamin – 100th
Alternate Division (85 Shooters):
Justin – 22nd
Aiden – 24th
Of course, Nationals isn't just about shooting.
Our team embraced one of the event's favorite traditions, the Barter Bar, where they traded Pennsylvania favorites like Dieffenbach's Chips, Hershey Bars, Reese's, Kit Kats, and A-Treat Cream Soda with teams from across the country. It was a fun opportunity to meet new friends, experience different traditions, and create memories that will last a lifetime. We also set some time aside to visit the Daisy Museum as a team.
While we're incredibly proud of the scores and rankings, we're even more proud of the character these young athletes displayed throughout the week. They represented our club, our community, and the State of Pennsylvania with sportsmanship, respect, and determination every step of the way.
None of this would have been possible without the countless volunteers, coaches, parents, family members, sponsors, and supporters who believed in these shooters from the very beginning. Your generosity and encouragement helped make this dream a reality, and we are forever grateful.
To our seven Nationals shooters: Congratulations! You've accomplished something truly special, and you've laid the foundation for the future of the Millcreek BB Gun Program.
The journey doesn't end here. This is only the beginning.
