Senior Ryan Wall (pictured) shot a pair of 41s in two West Central Conference North golf meets last week. The Bulldogs took seventh twice in the WCCN meets at Litchfield and at Koronis Hills Golf Club in Paynesville.
At Koronis Hills on Tuesday, May 9, the Bulldogs trailed Sauk Centre by two and three teams by seven. The BulldogsÕ total of 176 was their second lowest of the season.
Wall, a senior, led with a 41, and sophomore Nathan Glenz had a 43. Sophomore Adam Rafferty shot 45, seventh grader Mitchell Mackedanz shot 47, and junior Corey Schmitt shot 48.
Sophomore Pat Spooner and junior Mark Brossard each shot a 53.
AlbanyÕs Jason Luethmers was the medalist with a 37. Albany edged Cathedral 155-157 for the team championship. The victory tied Albany and Cathedral in the overall conference standings.
A three-way tie for third between Litchfield, LPGE, and Melrose required additional scores. Litchfield took third because their fifth golfer shot 45, and LPGE took fourth because its sixth golfer shot 47.
The team standings at Litchfield on Thursday, May 11, were turned somewhat on end, as Litchfield and Sauk Centre, who normally finish in the bottom half, took second and fourth respectively. Cathedral won with a total of 157 to take the overall conference lead.
The Bulldogs shot 182 as a team. Wall led with 41, and Glenz shot 44. Eric Gerding carded a 48, and Mackedanz had 49.
