NM Boys Fifth at SICL Meet
OSKALOOSA – North Mahaska competed with 10 other schools over the 18-hole, par-72 course at Oskaloosa Golf Monday in the South Iowa Cedar League boy’s tournament. HLV outdueled Sigourney by one stroke to win the conference title, 335-336. North Mahaska placed fifth with a 373.
Jaxon VanDerVeer earned ninth place overall carding a 13-over 85. The conference medaled the top 10. BGM’s Ethan Bridgewater shot a 2-over 74 but suffered a disqualification. That boosted HLV’s Peyton Roth to the top spot with a 75 and Brennan McGuire took runnerup honors with a 77. English Valleys’ Gage Heyne was third with a 78, Porter Cave of Keota shot a 79 and Sigourney’s Solon Yates rounded out the top five with an 82.
Oskaloosa Golf is a challenging course with a front nine like many of the courses the teams play on a daily basis. The back nine is long and much more challenging.
Sampson Cooper was second for the Warhawks with a 92 and Lucas Nunnikhoven right behind with a 93. Jack Kelderman rounded out the North Mahaska scoring with a 103. Hunter Wernli scored a 108 and Travis Castaneda 109.
