The Clear Lake boys are continuing to swing the clubs well.  Last week the Lions easily outdistanced a field of conference competitors at Eagle Grove, then edged Mason City Newman and Garner in a triangular.

At Eagle Grove
    Clear Lake’s Zach Monson and Brent Tarr captured medalist honors with rounds of 34 and helped the Lions to a convincing win at Eagle Grove.  The Lions won the meet with a 148.  The host team was second with 169, followed by Humboldt with 172 and Iowa Falls-Alden with 185.
    Eagle Grove entered the meet with just one loss, while Humboldt and Iowa Falls were using the meet as a make-up.
    “Maybe with the weather getting warmer we can shoot lower,” said Coach Eric Perry.    “It’s hard to fin your swing when you are wearing multiple layers of clothing and the wind is beating you down.”
    Josh Witt fired a round of 38 for the Lions, while Harrison Webb, Patrick Kolker and Adam Brinkman all had 42s.
    Clear Lake’s junior varsity team completed an undefeated season by posting a 174 at the meet.  Eagle Grove’s JV had 178.  The JV was led by Chris Lovell’s 38.  Tanner Rollefson finished with a 43  Drake Lundeen had a 45 and Jace Snyder and Tony Sherman each carded 48. Jeff Arians had a 50.

At Mason City
    The Lions finished one stroke ahead of a very talented Newman Catholic team Thursday at Highland Golf Course in Mason City.  Zach Monson found his groove and fired a 34 for medalist honors.
    “After this meet, we have played every state champion from the three spring classes from last year.  Beating two out of the three,” noted Coach Perry.  “This was a critical meet.  It showed the importance of why every single swing counts and you can have no let ups on the course.”
    Harrison Webb stroked a 38 for the Lions, followed by Josh Witt and Brent Tarr with 39s.  Patrick Kolker and Chris Lovell each had 41s.
    “Harrison came through again with a quality score and we are starting to count on Tarr,” added the coach.
