    Zack Doyle, a ,member of the BCGF&F award winning Sharp Shooters team was 1 of 11 high school football players to be recognized state wide, by being selected to a position on the Pennsylvania State A team.  Coach Hayes praised Zack for his dedication, hard work  and scholarship as a member of the Bellwood Antis Football program.  These are qualities we see every week at Air Rifle practice.  He is a leader!  Thanks go to his Grandfather Noye for faithfully bringing him to air rifle practice.
