Golf looks at late season matches

Raider Golf travelled to Okanogan Valley Golf Club Thursday for a match against Okanogan and Oroville.

The boys’ medalist at the meet was Joey Staggs of Okanogan, who won with 92 strokes over the course. The girls’ medalist was Vanessa Venderweide, also of Okanogan, who shot a 108.

Top performers for Lake Roosevelt were eighth-grader Darin Whiteman and Lucas Bird. Whiteman shot a 115 and Bird was right behind with a 116.

When asked how the team stacks up to the late season competition, Head Coach Steve Files said, “Due to our inexperience, we’re not quite ready to compete against the top teams in our league.”

But, Files went on to say, “Our kids continue to have great attitudes and have embraced the challenges that come with high school competition.”

Files had no information about April 27 match against Omak.

Tomorrow the golf team will travel to Alta Lake to take on Okanogan and Moses Lake Christian, starting at 2:30 p.m.
