Atlantic Head Coach Ed Den Beste: “Matt play a nice round again. Took a double on 9 but worked hard to rebound after that. Had a penalty on 15 but kept it at a bogie. Cyle played well today, good to see him shoot a low score. Braden struggled today. Too many wasted shots. Tate couldn’t get it going today as well. His highest score of the year. Drey had a good back but struggled on 18. Garrett started with a rough hole. Had a 5 putt on 14 with a really tough pin placement. He worked hard to keep his score low. Wow!!! Didn’t think we had a shot after seeing our 3,4,5, and 6 scores. Cyle and Matt scores really helped us today. Now we head home for Districts.”
