The Wallowa golf team traveled to the John Day Country Club on Friday, April 17, without two of their senior players. The boys team finished in fifth place with a team score of 458, but enjoyed a beautiful day of weather out on the course.

Sophomore Kai Oliver slipped three strokes from last week carding a 105. Caevan Murray really improved his game last week, covering 18 holes in 109 strokes. Thomas Jamerson also continued to improve, shooting a 109. Sophmore Bryce Melville rounded out the team with a score of 135.

Coach Marvin Gibbs said he knew he was traveling without his two top players because of last week’s senior sneak, but the kids who went “did good.”

The golfers are midway through the season and getting ever closer to the district tournament. “Time is running out,” Gibbs said.

This Friday the team travels to Umatilla to play at the Big River Country Club.
