Regionals- Oak Crest, Norway, Michigan...host Niagara

We were quite fortunate to escape the heavy rains, which came only at the very end of today's Regionals.  Wasn't one of our best days for scores...but the course proved difficult for many players throughout the conference.  Of ten high school teams participating, Laona Kellys took 6th place.

Four top teams advance to sectionals...and then three top individual players scoring not of those four teams also move on.  As it would turn out, our Kim Mentz and a player from Elcho tied at 102 for eighteen holes for the third player position and had a playoff.  Some gutsy play and sustained focus proved to go Kim's way...and HOOOoorah, we're off to Sectionals!!!  Congratulations Kim!!!!

Sectionals will be at Foxfire Golf Club in Waupaca, about two hours south of Laona, next week Tuesday.

Here's how it played out...first, our team scores-
