Hi everyone. I want to introduce you to the 2025 Illinois High Average Award winners. These are men and women who shot high averages in the 3 disciplines but did not make either the All-State team or All-American team. We will begin with Doubles: Sam Gilman 97.09; Brady Cox 94.15; Drake Lawler 93.92; Jacob Fournie 93.3; Justin Dewitt 93.22; Frank Haynes 92.38; Wyatt Baine 92.19; Chris Deterding 91.94; Lucus McVaigh 91.82; John Kravanek 91.62.

These men and women will receive their certificates on Friday of the state shoot during the annual meeting.
I have a few milestones that have been reached. At the 25,999 plateau, Steve Dinkleman, Kevin Showalter and Duane Parker, all reached it in Doubles and John Krancanas reached it in Singles.
Shoot well and support your local club.
