COACH HORN'S THOUGHTS
"Congratulations to Sean Niles for another superb performance! We battled through some horrific conditions once again that included hailing and snowing at least eight times during the opening round. An excellent round from Tyler Hurtubise on Sunday with the excellent 71. We are not consistent enough to compete the way we should in the last three events. We are still going to try to clean up our misses and putting. We have the talent, skill and effort to compete with anybody but our execution is still not where we need it to be."

UP NEXT
GLIAC schools will compete at the league championships on April 15-17 in Augusta, Mich. at Stoatin Brae Golf Course.
