DECORAH — The boys junior varsity and varsity golf teams played a nice round at Oneota Golf Course last Thursday, April 16. After several days of windy, rainy and cloudy conditions, coach Casey Bouska was pleased with how the weather held up. "[It was] a beautiful day for golf at the Viking Invite," said Bouska. Teams in attendance were Clear Lake, Holmen (Wis.), Holy Family (Minn.), Onalaska (Wis.), Owatonna (Minn.) and Winona (Minn.). Out of the eight teams, Decorah finished third. The junior varsity team, playing against all varsity squads, fared well throughout. "As a team we [had a] very good score of 309," said Bouska. "We didn't have our best stuff today, but we battled all day to really play gritty golf and put together some nice scores." Two from Decorah's varsity squad finished in the top 15: Jacob Stevens shot a 74 for third place, and Caden Hubka shot a 76 to secure ninth place. Tommy Sexton shot a 78 and fell just out of the top 15 with a respectable 16th-place finish. Other varsity golfers included Hayden Einck, Garrett Henry, Jackson Naber, Evan Roe and Hayden Wenthold. Varsity held their own against some tough competition, hitting well throughout all phases of the game, from tee to green, and were consistent throughout. On the JV side, Bouska said, "Our JV shot a very respectable 337 with Kasen Tyler leading the way with an 82. Fun to see guys step up today." The boys have a busy week ahead as they travel to South Winneshiek for the Winneshiek Triangular on Tuesday, April 21. They turn around and host a dual against New Hampton on Thursday, April 23, at Oneota Golf Course. The next day, Friday, April 24, they travel to West Delaware for the West Delaware Golf Invitational. Fresh stories, delivered!
