CORRECTION: JACE REIN'S SCORE HAS BEEN CORRECTED.
The Britton-Hecla boys golf squad tied for 17th among 24 teams in the Class B state golf tournament played at the Brookings Country Club last week Monday and Tuesday.
Jace Rein led the Braves with a 81-79-160 for the 36 holes, tying for the 28th spot in a 141-golfer field. Lofton Heer placed in a tie for 48th with a 81-84-165, and Charles Schuller was tied for the 120th spot with an 87-96-183.
“State B boys golf was a good test for our group,” said B-H coach Ryan Nack. “One big takeaway from these two days has to be our mindset. When we don’t execute a shot like we envisioned we need to find ways to move on the best we can. Celebrate the little victories along the way as well. My goal this year was to take a team to state, and having three boys qualify this year is a win in my book. I am excited about the future of our golf program. Thanks to all golfers this year as well as assistant coaches Maynard Bosse and Garret Knebel.”
Bon Homme came from five shots back the second day to win the boys team title with a 472 total, followed by Philip at 478, Clark-Willow Lake 480, Hill City 481, Wessington Springs 482, Edmunds Central 489, Miller 492, Wall 493, Faulkton Area 497, De Smet 501, Garretson 502, Viborg-Hurley 503, Timber Lake 505, Webster Area 506, Gettysburg 507, Britton-Hecla 508, Howard 508, Lyman 510, Platte-Geddes 520, Sioux Falls Lutheran 521, Hanson 526, Stanley County 530, and Warner 535.
