Monday, April 25Monday, both teams headed to East Buchanan for a co-ed meet at Buffalo Creek Golf Course.
“The boys performed really well in the cold and windy temperatures,” said Kahl. “The team scored below their season average, but we ran into a tough East Buchanan team, who shot in the 160’s. Brayden (Boots) and Indy (Harbaugh) both grinded out solid rounds.”
“The girls demonstrated their toughness with the scores they posted,” Kahl said. “They shot a season low score of 180 in 30 degree temperatures. The girls were great around the greens all day and it showed in their scores.”
