Other Atlantic Scores: Nate Gifford 82, Matt Gearheart 85.
Atlantic head coach Ed DenBeste: “Chilly start but the sun was out and the weather ended up being pretty nice out today. Tough thing today was not getting warmed up. No range to get a swing or two in. I think that didn’t help us on a few holes. Most had a rough hole or two. Jake hit two out on 2 but still finishes with a 74. Had 5 birdies today. Ben was disappointed but a nice score of 74. Zac got a little aggressive on a few holes on the back and it cost him a few strokes. Good to see Cyle shot a nice round and keep it in the 70s. Matt had a tough start with two OBs and was 5 over after first couple of holes. Better start and he would have been around his average. Nate had a nice round and would have been happy to take his 82. Great win for us today against some good competition.”
Abraham Lincoln took the team title at the Atlantic Girls Tennis Tournament on Saturday.
