The Army West Point rifle team closed out its opening weekend with a victory over conference opponent Ole Miss on Sunday. The Black Knights outscored the Rebels in both disciplines, finishing with an aggregate advantage of 4656-4649. "This win feels pretty good," head coach Web Wright said. "Ole Miss got us by a point last year, so this victory is all the more special."
Yearling co-captain Clayton Hanson led the way for the Cadets, topping the leaderboard in both smallbore (582) and air rifle, where he shot a personal best score of 594. This marks the second match in a row that a Black Knight set a personal high mark in the discipline, after sophomore Benjamin Davis shot a 594 on Saturday.
"Clayton really turned it on today," Wright said. "He tied for the high score in smallbore and had the high score and personal record in air rifle. It's good to see his hard work pay off." Read More
