Edmunds County Tribune -

Ipswich did really well in the boys 'varsity division at a recent LRC high school golf meet in Aberdeen on May 5.

The Tiger boys indeed shaded rival Faulkton in the boys' team standings with a 246. That's because Faulkton would fire a 246 as well. It was that close! But Faulkton would gain a little revenge with an individual titlist in the person of Bennett Cassens with his 75, edging runner-up Luke Peterson from Ipswich with a 76.

Next for Ipswich was Chet Peterson in third at 82, followed by Tucker Kadlec in fifth at 88. Matthew Jaenisch placed eighth at 95.

Meanwhile, the Tiger girls only had one entrant in the varsity division and that would be Rylee Kleffman with her sixth-place 122.

Faullkton's Gabby Kast was first with an 97, shading her teammate Trisha Cramer with a 98. Their team totaled 305 strokes and were the only girls' team with the minimum number of entrants to be eligible for the team standings.

Looking at the girls' JV outcome, the youthful Tiger girls ended up with Hope Wagner in fifth at 77.

The JV boys were led by Ipswich's Jace Konsor in first at 46 while Faulkton's Charlie Deiter finished second at 48.

Ipswich also utilized Hayden Schlosser's fourth-place 48, Trevor Larson's fifth-place 50, Gabe Simon's sixth-place 53, Sam Bass's seventh-place 53, Evan Onken's tenth-place 58, Jacob Bakken's 11th-place 59, Nick Fuhrmann's 13th-place 64, Brooks Osborne's 14th place 69 and Jace Styles with a 15th-place 69.
