Our golf teams battled the winds and tough Area opponents Tuesday and, though the squads narrowly missed qualifying for state, the Bears did have one individual who will move on.
 
Senior Haven Ward – generally known as "under par as a golfer, and over par as a human," tied for Low Medalist after 18 holes and won the playoff, sinking a birdie putt to capture yet another individual title.
 
Teamwise, both squads placed fourth, the girls actually tied for third after their round, but lost on a playoff hole to miss out on the team advancement.
 
Besides Haven's fine play, Katherine Stembridge, Maybrie Mattson, Caroline Edwards, and Jane Fuller turned in some solid support.
 
On the boys' side, Nick McKay was our low man; he was followed by Nate Skaggs and Parker Miles.
 
Looking ahead, the state meet is slated May 22^nd and 23^rd at Whitewater.
