HIBBING- The Northeast Range – Ely boys golf team teed it up in back-to-back tourneys last week, chalking up a second-place finish at Hoyt Lakes while struggling at Hibbing.
The Mesabi East East Range Conference tournament at Hoyt Lakes on Thursday found NER-Ely in good form, placing second behind Rock Ridge among five schools in the team competition.
Thomas Homer took team honors with a 42, six over par in the nine-hole event. Homer finished fourth. Wesley Sandy and Alex Merriman toured the circuit with identical rounds of 47, tying for 11th. Ty Walker’s 15th-place score of 49 was the final piece of the team scoring puzzle for NER-Ely.
The team took only three players to Hibbing, and the 18-hole layout proved to be a stiff challenge. Merriman turned in the best round with a 95, placing 47th. Sandy came in at 99 for 53rd place, and Lewis Powell carded a 101 for 55th.
