Was it ideal weather for golf? No. But, you have to find a way to compete in the elements sometimes. On Tuesday Dundy County Stratton hosted their invite with eight varsity teams in attendance. It was a blustery day, regardless, we saw some great performances on the course.

Paxton had a pair of golfers place. Ethan Hardin took 6th, shooting an 88. Gauge Florum took the final medal spot, shooting a 97 and taking 15th.
