Portagers Drive and Putt To A Win Over  Mason County Eastern
 

"(the)Team is struggling with shot making following the long winter layoff", states Coach Zadow.  I have worked with Coach Zadow enough years to know that she never makes excuses for her team. She states cold, hard, accurate facts, whether they be good  or bad. This is why we can see such progress in the team's play.
   The Portagers secured the win today , despite getting rained on a few times throughout the match.  " Greens were long and a bit slow", explained Coach. Our team went on to take the match, 180 to MCE's 196, making the Portagers look ahead to still breaking 180 in their young season.

Today's match was held at the County Highlands. The Portagers kept the scoring tight to lock out MCE. Team lowman was Levi Capper shooting 44. Drew Griswold, missing a really short putt on the 18th, finished with 45. Freshman Brenner Johnson , not to be out shot, carded 45 and Jake Matthews turned in a 46 to round out the scoring four for the team effort of 180. Match medalist was MCE's Chance Christmas shooting 43.  Josh Cebula shot a 48 – his high school golf career personal best score.
    Having lost only one match to date, (by only two strokes) could possibly be predicting another exciting season by our Golf team. Come out and support them at their next match and at the very least , let them know you are rooting for them when you see them around school.
Till next time, Hit them long and straight...
