Eagles play in Lafayette Jeff Invite, finish 15th out of 21

Two days after the Eagles played decently and shot 163 against Lakewood Park, the team once again only played ok to shoot a 348.  I start the post this way because it is a testament of just how much the team has improved this year from their early 18 hole rounds at Triton and Goshen.  I also mentioned the 15th place finish because this was a BIG time tournament.  Six of the top 20 golf teams in the state were at the tournament, including Crown Point who shot 299 (we were paired with them). Austin led the team with an 80, but uncharacteristically finished poorly.  Jordon struggled early, but finished strong late to shoot 88.  Collin shot a 39, but also shot a 50.  Justin Papenbrock shot 91, but finished with two double bogeys.  Finally, Seth Wirick shot a 94, but finished with a quad and a trip.  The team has a big week ahead and must figure out quickly how to finish a round off.  The team has come a long way, but the journey ahead could be prolonged (advance in state tourney) if the team figures out how to play a complete round.  The team is back in action on Tuesday against the DeKalb Barons and Northrop Bruins.   Come out for Senior Night.
