Coach's quote: "Noah is a great young man that stands out as one of the top smallbore shooters in the area. Noah has a dedication to the sport that only happens in a small group of shooters. Noah is the team captain during his senior year and I rely heavily on him for his leadership skills. This role has elevated confidence in Noah as a leader and as a shooter. The younger shooters on the team look to mirror the great things that Noah does both on and off of the range. During his time on the Conemaugh Township rifle team, Noah has continually improved and has posted some pretty great scores. He has posted a perfect 100 in the prone position as well as a 281 out of 300 as his personal best overall score. It will be hard to replace Noah as he graduates and moves on to the next phase of his life." — Conemaugh Township rifle coach Joe Podrebarac
