VIRGINIA- Golf season has finally arrived, and the Northeast Range/Ely and North Woods girls squads teed it up last Thursday in the Rock Ridge ERC meet at the Virginia Golf Course.
NER/Ely didn’t field a four-player team to compete for the team title, but they would have fared well in the competition on the strength of performances by Maizy Sunblad, Carena Debeltz, and Danica Sunblad. Maizy Sunblad shot a nine-over-par 45 to finish fourth behind a trio of Rock Ridge golfers in the 38-player field. Debeltz finished four spots back in eighth with a 49, and Danica Sunblad tied for tenth with a round of 52.
Laurin Glass led the Grizzlies’ contingent with a 54, good enough for a three-way tie for 15th overall. Sophia Hoffman was close behind with another trio of golfers who tied for 18th with a 58. River Deatherage placed 29th and Kiley Kopatz finished 32nd as the Grizzlies finished fifth among six teams.
