TEKOA – The Tekoa-Rosalia Timberwolves hosted Colfax and several high school golf teams for a match on April 29.
The 9-hole course is a par 35.
"It was nice to get a majority of the kids out," said Colfax Golf Coach Michael Heitstuman. "Ayden Miller had a good outing."
Colfax Bulldogs fielded six players. Senior Ayden Miller shot the team best 53, followed by senior Kennedy Schmidt with a 55, and sophomore Austin Miller with a 63. Sophomore Daemon Butler shot a 57, senior Gavin Wells a 70, and junior Dylan Meithof a 75.
"We've seen a lot of improvement," said Heitstuman. "They understand the game of golf better."
Timberwolves' Ava Rambo shot a 49 for the girls and Josh Bonham shot a 51 for the boys, according to Tekoa-Rosalia golf Coach Angie Rambo.
Tekoa-Rosalia's Ava Rambo, Maddie Haas, Josh Bonham, Kellen Tee, and Levi Fletcher qualified to play at the district match. They will be competing to qualify for the pending culminating event.
"It was a very fun day, and it was great to finally host a match at Tekoa," said Angie Rambo. "All of (my players) have been making good progress."
