The Ottertail Central Bulldog Golf team wrapped up their regular season at the Section 6A meet at Perham on Wednesday and Thursday May 28th and 29th.
Section 6A Meet at Perham Lakeside--May 28th and 29th
The Section meet is a 2-Day meet with a cut after Day 1 where the Top 4 Teams and then the next 12 individuals not on those teams advance to Day 2. After Day 2 and adding both day's scores, the Top Team and the next 5 individuals not on that team advanced to the Class A State Tournament.
We once again had golfers advancing to the Class A State Tournament as Seniors Janie Lhotak and Logan Kostelecky qualified for the State Tournament that will be held at Pebble Creek Golf Course in Becker on June 10th and 11th with the girls in the morning and boys in the afternoon. Congratulations to both of these golfers as they will represent our team, schools and communities down in Becker.
The boys team missed out on advancing to Day 2 by 4 strokes finishing with a Day 1 total of 354. We did have 3 individuals advancing to Day 2 as Logan Kostelecky advanced with a 75, Teigan Bjerke with a 90 and Cameron Markuson with a 94. Missing out on Day 2 were Hudson Baril with a 95, Connor Reinbold 98 and Cooper Dorn 108.
Janie continued her better play as of late and advanced to Day 2 with a score of 93 on Day 1 and then did a great job of battling on Day 2 to shoot a 96 and a 11th place overall finish but most importantly a 5th place finish in the individuals not on the Team Champion Park Christian squad so that advances her to the Class A State Tournament for the first time. Very proud of the two days of golf Janie put together and kept battling.
Obviously a little pressure is felt on Day 2 with a trip to State on the line. Logan once again battled and shot a 78 to finish in 2nd place overall just 1 stroke off of the Championship, but that 2nd place finish advanced him to the State Golf Tournament. Teigan showed some battle as he fought back from a slow start and finished with an 86 as he finished in 16th place. and Cameron bettered his Day 1 score and shot a 93 to finish in 28th place.
Congratulations to both Janie and Logan on their advancement to the State Tournament. Also want to congratulate our other seniors on the team, Teigan Bjerke and Hudson Baril on finishing their careers and their graduations. Letter-winners this year are those 4 Seniors, Junior Cameron Markuson, Sophomore Connor Reinbold, Freshman Brayden Martinson and 8th Grader Cooper Dorn.
