The South Central golf team might not be known as a regular powerhouse on the Saskatchewan High Schools Athletic Association provincial scene, but a solid showing at the Jackfish Lodge Golf Course this past weekend was good enough for one of their top finishes in recent years.
The South Central boys team put together a trio of top-11 finishes and would go on to win the bronze medal at the two-day tournament during the Sept. 24-25 weekend.
Leading the way was Assiniboia’s Davin Karst, who carded back-to-back rounds of 76 for a 152 total, eight strokes back of tournament champion Max Regier from Saskatoon but still good enough for third place and individual bronze.
Avonlea’s Hudson Heistad shot an 84 to open the event but put together the third-lowest round of day two at 76 to finish with a 160 total and in seventh overall.
Eric Woodley had one of the top Moose Jaw finishes in recent years, with the Central competitor shooting rounds of 78 and 75 for 163 total and 11th overall.
Coronach’s Carter Bartlett rounded out South Central’s showing with rounds of 87 and 100 to land 40th overall.
All told, South Central carded 231 over round one and followed with 232 for round two, with the 463 total finishing a mere four shots back of Central Valley for silver. South East won gold with a 437 total.
On the girls’ side of things, Jordan Eger of Coronach had South Central’s top showing with rounds of 109 and 108 for a 217 total, while Assiniboia’s Harper Berner (117-118-235) finished 26th, Avonlea’s Callie Callaghan (118-118-236) landed 27th and Coronach’s Shelby Schnell (130-121-251) finished 34th.
