@ Gowrie: Twin Lakes Conference Dual between Pocahontas Area and Southeast Valley

After a tough start to the week, the SV Boys’ Golf team did not want another opportunity to slip away out of their grasps. With a firm grip, and a steady confidence in the team’s abilities, the SV Jaguar golfers shot a solid 163 team score to defeat Pocahontas Area on Thursday night, April 17^th. Pocahontas Area tallied a 189 on the night, paced by Karson Welander’s 45.

Brady Hanson and Karson Roper took home the 1^st and 2^nd place low scores, with Hanson carding the low 38, and K. Roper with a close runner up finish with 39. Hanson sunk a long birdie putt on his last hole (#9) to capture meet medalist honors. 

Also scoring for the Varsity team were Will Comp with a 42, and Dawson Tuel with a 44. Hayden Butrick and Drew Temple both narrowly missed the scoring threshold for the Varsity with a 45 and 46, respectively. 

The JV line-up for SV shot 178, but PAC did not fill out a full team. Hayden Greene and Linkin Roper shot 42 and 43, Benson Konecne and Declan McGuire shot 46 and 47; and Colton Haug, Owen Pudenz, and Nick Field shot 49, 51, and 57. 

Coach Dahlstrom commented on how this meet really helped the players gain a strong confidence in where they are as a team, and the confidence individually is growing. Dahlstrom mentioned, “Monday night, falling 4^th in the TLC Quad; and falling by two strokes on Tuesday against St. Edmond’s, I think the team understands what could have been, and where we can be down the course of the season. It was a good night, and we are making the necessary strides for a fun and eventful season.”

Up next for SV is a JV/V dual at Clarion-Goldfield-Dows on Monday, April 21^st, and a Co-ed JV/V dual at Manson on Thursday, April 24^th.
