REGIONAL- The North Woods boys golf team hit the links last Thursday for a tournament at the Lakeview National Golf Course in Two Harbors, placing third among four schools.
Gage Aune led the way for the Grizzlies with a score of 50 for a three-way tie for 11th. Peyton Swanson finished in a three-way tie for 16th with a 55. Ryder Gibson and Sawyer Glass each shot 59 to tie for 20th and round out the team scoring for North Woods. Other Grizzlies in the competition included Collin Grahn, 60, James Yernatich, 60, Brady Swanson, 68, and Elijah Lindgren, 69.
The boys were back on the course again on Monday, this time for the 18-hole Mesabi East Invitational at Giants Ridge. North Woods finished last among the seven schools competing for the team title. However, Aune made some noise, shooting an 86, tying him for sixth. Glass tied for 20th with a 95, while Gibson and Yernatich were well down the leaderboard in 35th and 36th place.
