The Chinook Sugarbeeter High School Golf Team has gotten their season off to quit a start. The 'Beeters have qualified five for the State C Tournament in Seeley next month. Last week in Wolf Point at the Class B Poplar Invitational the girls won the team championship with a 409. The quartet included state qualifiers Hailey Bell 3rd, Crystal Hofer 6th, Alyssa Gruszie 7th, Ashley MacLeod and Kendra McMaster. Chinook's Chase Moxley is the boys lone qualify thus far.
Getting on the course to play competitively has been the toughest part of the season so far for local golf teams. When they have been able to compete, the Sugarbeeters have performed very well.
The team was in Wolf Point last Tuesday for the Poplar Invitational being played at the Wolf Point Golf Course.
The tournament was a Class B tournament meaning that each team played five golfers and scored four versus a Class C tournament where four are played and three are scored.
The 'Beeter girls have qualified four for the State C already and were primed to do well in Wolf Point. They did just that, winning the team title with a 409 and placing three in the top 10.
Sophomore Hailey Bell led the way with a third place finish. Bell went out in 45 and came in with a 49 to record a score of 94.
Sophomore Crystal Hofer finished sixth in the tournament with a consistent round of 50-51 for a 101. Junior Alyssa Gruszie was seventh with a 53-49 102. Senior Ashley MacLeod finished with a 60-52 112 to complete the team score. Senior Kendra McMaster played well and shot a 56-57 113.
For the boys, freshman Braden Eoff led the way with a 53-50 103. Sophomore Ethan MacLeod was right behind, shooting a 55-50 105. Senior Isaac Bell finished with a 63-48 111. Junior Erik Pula recorded a round of 60-69 119.
