Kimball golfers runner-up at Bayard

For only the second time this season,

the Kimball High Boy’s Golf

Team failed to win a tournament they

were involved in. The Longhorns

ended up 4 strokes back of Bridgeport

at the Bayard Tournament this past

week. The winning Bridgeport Team

shot 319 and Kimball 323 to finish in

the runner-up spot. Behind the top

two were Morrill 364, Garden County

379, Scottsbluff JV 403, Mitchell

404, Hemingford 414, Chase County

425, Bayard 426 and Crawford 433.

A huge day for Bridgeport senior,

Eric Stevens, as he took medalist honors

with his round of 68, 10 strokes

ahead of runner-up Zane Anthony of

Kimball, with his runner-up round of

78. Drake DeMaters of Bridgeport

was 3rd with his round of 78. Kimball

had four golfers in the top ten

medal group with Dillon Wise 4th

with his 80, Izaac Reuter 7th with 85

and Kole Bush 5th with his round of

80. Andrew McCloud finished out of

the medal group with a round of 92.

The Bayard Tournament was the final

tune-up prior to the District Tournament

hosted by Kimball at the Four

Winds this past Tuesday. The District

Tournament is the State Qualifying

Tournament where the top 3 teams

and the top 10 individuals will advance

to the State competition in Kearney

on May 22-23.
