The Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) is pleased to welcome the addition of the Sheboygan County High School Trap and Team League. Founded in 1979 by Bill Lorenz, the league has 12 teams, including 400 athletes from the Sheboygan, Wis., area. Lorenz says he’s excited about the opportunities afforded the youth athletes by the SCTP. “The kids have a lot to look forward to,” Lorenz said. “Through the SCTP they’ll be participating in more and bigger tournaments than what they did before. They’re also excited about the scholarship opportunities. My hope is that some of them will be able to eventually shoot on the Olympic level.” Lorenz said he started the Sheboygan League the year after he graduated from high school. “When I was in school, there was just one team and no league,” Lorenz said. “So after I graduated, I took it upon myself to put together a high school program. By five years in we had 57 members. Our organization holds round robin tournaments. As we started going from club to club, we’d pick up more high schools. By 1986, we had 100 members.” Lorenz said he simply enjoys shooting and wants to help the youth members become better shooters. “I work in conservation, so it’s important to me that hunters make a clean shot,” he said. “That was one of the primary motivations for me. I want these kids to take good shots when they’re out hunting and to not be careless.”
The Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to providing shooting-sports education and opportunities to school-age youths around the United States to encourage young athlete personal growth and development. Tax-ID number 20-8484121.
