Atlantic Head Coach Ed DenBeste: “Another great day to play golf.  75 with a light breeze.  Jake played well.  Had a great up and down on 18 after hitting over the green.  Ben struggled but finished with a birdie and a solid score.  Zac had a couple of tough holes but finished fine with 81.  Matt got into trouble on 16 with a tough down hill putt that rolled off the green.  Had to chip back and then had a hard lip out.  Good to see him recover and shot 10 over.   Nate had a good round today.  Good to see him with an 11 over.  Cyle played well.  Struggled on the last two holes but still had a great score.

This was the one step that we needed to have on our goal of making state.  Now we head back to our home course to hopefully get that state birth this year.  This was a good step for our team.”
