Hitchcock County

As a team, the Falcons took 2nd with a 359. Brayden Melchert took 7th with an 84. Jack Baker took 1st with a 76. It took a playoff hole against Chase County's Gavin Wisknieski to get the win. Jack had a nice drive, his second shot, though, caught the tree on hole one, just to the southeast of the green and into the bunker. Jack then had an excellent escape and sank a 12-foot putt for par. Wisnieski had a couple of nice shots too, but his putt to save for par just missed. We chatted with Jack after the victory.

Mason Schilke finished 14th with a 94, Cale Graham shot a 105 and finished 25th, and Karson Hubl took 39th with a 139.
