MOULTRIE — If Yohann Brinson were not forced to shoot with what amounts to a cast on his right hand, the Colquitt County rifle team is likely to have scored its highest point total ever on Tuesday.

Even with an ailing Brinson, Colquitt shot a 1,151 thanks to a 291 shot by both Jessica Corona and Shontae Robinson and a 289 turned in by Victoria Dampier.

Brinson’s 280 is below his season average of 286, but still was 28 points higher than Turner County’s highest scorer.

The victory raises Colquitt County’s record to 6-0 as the team prepares to meet Fitzgerald in what is expected to be a close match on Thursday on the road.

Scores of 290 or above were rare for the Colquitt County rifle team before this season, having been done just four times in the last four years.

But the two 291s raise the total to seven compiled by this year’s team.

Corona now has a 289, a 290 and a 291 in her last three matches. Robinson has shot a 293, 287, 291 in her lasts three outings.

Dampier shot a 293 and a 291 in back-to-back matches earlier this season and has just missed the magic number in her last two matches, scoring a 288 right before Tuesday’s 289.

“We’re doing well,” said the rifle team’s Lt. Col. Paul Nagy. “We’re in a groove.

“But Fitzgerald will be a big match. I’m confident we’ll do well. The question is how well will Fitzgerald do. They always get up for us. They know how we’re doing. I’m sure they’ll be focusing on us.”

Colquitt went into the match with three straight school-record scores of 1,152. If Brinson, who broke the little finger on his trigger finger while slipping on wet stairs while at a competition at Fort Benning recently, had shot his season average, the team would have pushed 1,160.

Brinson shot a 96 in the prone position, a 93 in the standing position and a 91 in the kneeling position.

“He’s still doing well,” Nagy said of Brinson, one of the team’s three seniors. “Just not as well as he was doing.”

Nagy said Brinson will be in the cast until March 9.

Robinson led the team in the prone position with a 99. She also had a 94 in the standing position and a 98 kneeling.

Corona, who has been outstanding in the last three matches, had a 97 prone, a team-high 96 standing, and a 98 kneeling.

Dampier missed a third 290 by just a point. She had a 98 in the prone position, a 94 standing and a 97 kneeling.

As a team, the top four shooters had a 390 out of a possible 400 in the prone position, a 377 standing and a 384 kneeling.

The three non-counting scores were fine scores for Colquitt County’s trio of first-year shooters.

Amanda Thompson had a 278, Josh Taylor a 273 and Megan Dubberly a 272.
