DeBoer and Fischer Hit Top 10 at Groton Invite

Jonathan DeBoer claimed second place and Owen Fischer took 10th place at the Groton Invitational on Thursday, September 12. The Bulldogs as a team came in fourth. 

DeBoer scored a 76 – just four over par – to finish in the runner-up position. Fisher carded an 86. Charlie Peery also scored 86 to follow close behind at 12th place.

Bulldog Ryan Keeton shot a 91 to bring home 21st place. Gregory Grabow took 30th place at 104. Tate Steffensen, a senior from Sioux Valley, won the tournament with a 74.

“I was very pleased with how the boys battled in some very windy conditions,” stated Milbank’s head coach, Mark Keeton.  “As a team we finished fourth, but there were only 11 strokes separating first and fourth.” 

“We need to do a better job as a team avoiding the big numbers that hurt the overall score, but I feel we are close,” Coach Keeton went on to say.  “It will be nice having the home-course advantage here in a couple weeks as the region tournament is closing fast.”

Results for the Seventh Through Ninth- Grade Tournament in Sisseton: Pierce Mathiason shot a  55 and Emmett Schuelke carded  63.

What’s next? Varsity Bulldogs traveled to Redfield today, Tuesday September 17. The JV and C players visit Redfield on Friday, September 20.
