Lisbon boys fourth at Region 1 qualifier

 

Bronco girls finish sixth

Sargent County emerged from a four-team scramble to win team honors with their low score of 340 at the Region 1 boys’ qualifier meet held at the Grand Rapids golf course on Monday, May 5.

Any individual that fired a score of 8 over par or less could qualify for the state golf meet to be held later this month.  No individuals scored low enough but individual and team scores dropped drastically with the improved weather conditions.

With temps in the high 60s and a slight breeze, Lisbon’s Dillon Bishop tied for medalist honors with his 18-hole score of 81.  Bishop’s score just missed the cut-line for state qualifying.  Bishop, a junior, has been Lisbon’s low scorer for the last two meets. 

The actual Region 1 tournament will also be held at Grand Rapids on Thursday, May 15.  The top three teams and ten individuals (plus all ties for tenth) will advance to the state meet.  The Maple River Golf Course in Mapleton will host the boys’ state meet.

Nick Cooper was the Bronco’s other golfer to earn top 10 honors with his score of 86.

Coach Marc Strahm commented on his boys’ team’s effort.  “Dillon Bishop had a very good round at the individual qualifier to tie for low score.  Bishop finished second as the medalist was determined by playing back the card on the toughest individual hole.”

“Nick Cooper, Jordan Lee, and Patrick Olson rounded out the team total with their scores of 86, 92, and 93.  Cooper’s score of 86 earned Nick his tenth place finish.”

“We are looking forward to the Region 1 tournament on May 15, and it should be a battle with any of five teams capable of winning the tournament.”

The Bronco girls are steady as she goes.  Coach Sherri Surerus’ squad is slowly but surely lowering their individual scores.  Grace Buchholz and Laura Iszler led LHS with their scores of 113 and 116.  Buchholz and Iszler probably proved to themselves that they can go much lower as each had a round of nine holes with a score of 53.

Jennifer Anderson and Haley Christofferson rounded out the Bronco’s team scores with their efforts of 122 and 126.

Coach Surerus has Lisbon knocking on the state qualifying door with their sixth-place team finish.  The top three teams from each of the state’s six regions will qualify for the state meet to be held at the Oxbow Country Club later in May.
