Letters to the Editor: Big East All Conference Teams; Trap Season Delayed

Big East All-Conference Teams

Hey Editor!
I wanted to pass along a few recognitions of our Girls basketball program.

The Big East All-Conference Teams were voted on and selected by the coaches. Lizzie Olson landed on 1st team. Jaelyn Benson was voted on 3rd team, and Lauren Heesch and Lily Ranschau made Honorable Mention. Lizzie was voted 1st team last year, Jaelyn and Lauren were Honorable Mention last season, and this is Lily’s first time voted All-Conference.

In addition to being named to first team Big East All-Conference, Lizzie also received the honor of Class “A” All-State. She was voted by coaches around the state and earned 3rd team honors. This is a very prestigious awarded and hasn’t been award to a Garretson Lady Dragon since Hailey Edmundson in 2014.

-Matt Schrank Technology Administrator Head Girls Basketball

Editor’s Reply: That is simply excellent! It was an exciting season, and just fun to watch our ladies working hard and having fun on the court! Well done all!

I want to also take a moment and pass on my congratulations on the Teacher of the Year Award Matt! It’s well deserved. This crisis has been really tough on our school and community. You stepped up to the challenge and took on the problem head on. The whole community is grateful for your hard work, we are lucky to have you working in our school district!


Trap season delayed

Garretson Sportsmen's Club will NOT begin trap leagues until at least Wednesday, May 13th.

This decision was prompted by the increase in cases in Minnehaha county, the ongoing state and federal directives to limit gatherings to ten or fewer people indoors and last, our concern for the significant number of shooters 60 and over.

As May 13th gets closer, please watch for updates in another newsletter, on our website, or on Facebook.

We will implement a sign-up process to limit the number of people gathered together at any given time.

If you have not shot trap in the past, this is the year to try it! A team consists of five shooters. Even if you don't have five, there are many regulars at the club that often shoot on more than one team. You could likely fill your team with these people. We also often have individuals that would like to try it out, but need a team to shoot on.

If you would like to register a new team this year, send us a letter with your contact information, the number of shooters you have interested, and a team name.
