Notes from Head Coach Ed DenBeste: “Jake and Kyle played great today.  Good to see both shoot in mid 70s today.  Ben had some tough holes today but came in with a good score of 83.  Like he stated it wasn’t pretty but an okay score.  Good to see Matt shot the 80 today.  Finished with a par that went completely around the hole before dropping in.  Zac had a lot of putts today.  Just couldn’t get it working.  Still battled though.  Nate had a tough back but better front.  Hopefully he will get it down on the next round.  Great to see this team meet their goal of making state.  Now we need to focus on finishing the season.”
