Hale Leads West Holt Huskies At State Golf Meet In Kearney

As he has done most of the season, Mason Hale led the West Holt Huskies. This time, he led them at state.

Hale, a sophomore, shot a second round 75 to earn a spot as the solo medalist or the Huskies, finishing fifth.

"It's a big accomplishment as a sophomore," Hale said. "But I also know that I only have two more years left to win it all."

Fellow sophomore Bryce Kerkman shot a second round 83 to tie for 30th.  Juniors Seth Hytrek and Theodore Stenka finished tied for 52nd and 59th, respectively. Hytrek shot a second round 95, while Stenka charged up the board with a second round 89. Rounding out the golfers for the Huskies was senior Austyn Ramm-Lech, who tied for 73rd with a second round 95.

As a team, the Huskies finished seventh with a team score of 682 for the two days. With the team only losing one senior, the team looks to build on a successful 2016 campaign next season.

"Team wise, we are a little disappointed in where we placed," Hale said. "We are ready for next year."
