Fontana MCJROTC sets early pace in Week 2; Walton County edges Zion Benton in lead-changing duel

The 2025 National Sporter Air Rifle League completed its second week with another round of randomized pairings across high school teams and junior rifle clubs. Teams compete in three-position matches—10 shots each in kneeling, prone and standing—scored in decimal, with results determined by the combined totals of each squad’s top four athletes. The eight-week regular season will be followed by a postseason for the Champions Division’s top eight and the top two per conference in the Distinguished and Elite divisions. With all teams now ranked, next week transitions to skill-based squadding.

At the top of the table, Fontana MCJROTC improved to 2-0 behind a balanced effort against Selma MCJROTC, while Palm Bay MCJROTC also climbed to 2-0 with a strong road result. Pascagoula NJROTC remains third after a bye. Walton County Air Rifle continued its form with a narrow win over Zion Benton NJROTC, and Norview NJROTC held steady with another controlled performance at Bishop Kenny NJROTC. Those five lead a crowded field that includes North Brunswick AJROTC, Mountain View MCJROTC and West Valley MCJROTC, each off to unbeaten starts.
