Atlantic Head Coach Ed DenBeste:

“This was a great win for our boys golf team.  Not sure that we played as well as we wanted but good to see us keep it together and battle with the wind today.  I like that Jake was runner-up medalist.  He had gotten back to 4 over and had a tough hole 8 where he hit a great shot and it rolled off the back.  He parred it but then boogied nine to stay at 5 over.  Ben had a good round going and lost some strokes but good to finish under 80.  Both Jake and Ben are 1st team all conference.  Matt and Zac had to battle today.  Nate is playing pretty consistent right now.  Good to see him have a score that counted.  Cyle has some struggles today.  Hope that he can learn and bounce back.  I think the lost ball on hole 3 turned the game for him today.

Great to see my first conference title as coach in Atlantic.  Proud of these boys and their season up until now.  We need to keep working on our games to enter post season.”
