VAN HORNE — The Lady Spartans made their second trip to Van Horne in a week as they competed in Benton Community’s Bobcat Invitational Saturday, April 12. The Bobcats claimed victory with 359 followed by Solon at 360 and the Solon JV squad at 408. Vinton-Shellsburg finished the day at 453 while Columbus Catholic and Center Point-Urbana only fielded one golfer each.
Benton’s Halle Sobaski medaled with 75 while Solon’s Sydney Dee took runner-up at 82.
“It was good to get an 18 hole meet under our belts,” said Coach Curtis Hendrickson, who noted a close battle was expected, and despite leaving some strokes out on the course, the final score was 25 strokes better than in last year’s outing.
“The girls were not happy with the result, we’ll get back to work and chip away at those scores. We really like our team and know that they will keep working hard to improve. That is all we can ask of them.”
