Area Golf Teams Compete Across Panhandle

Cheyenne County area schools boy's Golf Teams have been extremely busy recently, making up for lost time earlier in the season due to uncooperative weather conditions. As the season winds down, many of our area golfers have picked up their game as they ready for District Tournaments and hopefully a berth in the NSAA State Tournament.

Sidney's John Beier led the Red Raiders with 12 over par 84, finishing 24th individually. Jaeden Dillehay shot a 14 over par 86. Scottsbluff won the event as a team, with a score of 307, 19 stokes over par. They were followed by North Platte in second place and Cheyenne East in third. Individually, Mitchell's Cael Peters took top honors, finishing with a 74, two strokes over par. He was followed by Ogallala's Luke Hiltibrand and Gering's Jack Maser.
