"Rifle team took everyone who had the desire to be on the team."
My elder brother was an excellent shot and had been shooting a twenty-two rifle since he was about six. He tried to qualify for the Tech High School team in Washington DC in the 1940s. He didn't qualify. By the way, Arthur Cook was the team captain, and the team had a match with West Point Military Academy and won.

My mistake; it was the University of Maryland team headed by Arthur Cook that beat the U. S. Naval Academy rifle team. Not his high school team. Sorry about my memory, it’s been a long time ago.
