GOLF FINISHES 8-6 The golf team had a fine season, finishing with a record of 8 wins and 6 losses. They finished high in many tournaments, including a 13th place finish out of 45 teams at the Peoria Invitational. Coach Bob Nelson reflected on the season. “I was pleased with the sea- son. The past years we have done well at home (Lincolnshire) and this year was no exception. Matt Reiter and Mike Hagan played consistent all year. We had alot of players who played during the summer and that really helped them improve their game.” With many underclassmen show- ing promise this season, next year’s golf team should be strong.
