Cascade golf team opens the season at Quincy

The Cascade High School golf team played their first match of the season against Quincy at Clockum Ridge on March 15. Due to the lack of numbers, the Kodiaks could not field a team score for both the boys and girls.
Cascade only had three boys and Quincy only had one girl.
“So no team score, that’s okay. This was a first day out and a score for all of our golfers. Some were posting their first 9 hole score ever. Great day for golf. I saw all smiles on my team. They are anxious to get out on the course,” said Cascade Head Coach Randy Alexander.
Maddie Hontou led the girls with a solid 97. Jacelyn Bain had a 102. Emma Halseth shot 113 and Natalie Craig 137.
“Again, I downplay this time of the year for us due to how much we have been on any course. Rock Island a couple times and Highlander driving range, and Desert Canyon , which was a modified scramble format just to get the kids out and experience golfing.. I knew we would be rusty. This was really our first time out on a course,” Alexander said.
Tim Wells led the boys with an 83. Stefan Zucktriegel shot 96 and freshman Isaac Cortes shot 110.
“Tim and Stefan have started  right where they left off last year, so I am looking forward to their progress as the season moves on. Isaac Cortes is an inspiring first year golfer. Isaac has golfing experience and am looking to watch his golf game grow,” Alexander said.
On Thursday, Cascade plays an all girls match at Ephrata. Next Tuesday, they open league play at Okanogan.
