“It was unfortunate to end the season the way we did,” remarked Hawk coach Mark Japenga. “The kids worked hard today, but we put ourselves in too much trouble. Our Seniors Ben Haack and Sam Heyn did a nice job for us this year and they will be missed. We look forward to next year and getting better throughout the year.”
Heyn’s round of 90 over the 18 holes was 10th best on the day. In 15th place was Haack with a 94. One spot behind was Wyatt Borden after shooting a 95.
