comment: “All had some
playing time at the varsity
level last year, with Pavey
and Hoover at the top of
that list,” Hoeft said. “ With
14 out we definitely have
some options going into the
season. Four (Keller, Glantz,
Rempel and Jones) of the 14
are newcomers to the game
but the other 10 have all been
able to experience the meet
atmosphere. I can see us
improving over last year’s
team most notably around the
green with our short game
play. I believe this team is
due for some success, but
much of that will depend on
their attention to detail on the
smaller parts of their game.”

see the potential of our team
this year and I know that some
long term goals this year are
to win Districts, qualify a lot
of our kid for the State Meet
and to place in the top three
teams at State,” Boldt said.
“I know those are lofty goals
and the kids know that, but I
know that they are dedicated
to those goals and will work
hard to get there. We also have
some incoming freshman
and underclassmen, who will
step right up and start scoring
some points for us.”
