Atlantic Head Coach Ed DenBeste: “Heading into today out goal was to have good ball striking.  We worked on it a lot Friday at practice.  Good to see Matt shoot a one over 72 today on a good course.  Ben had a great front of one under but had a few putts that wouldn’t fall on the back and trouble on 16.  Great to see him keep it at 3 over.  Cyle could have been lower.  A lot of putts today.  Hit the ball better than his score but still a good score.  Mason also played well.  Good to see him below 90.  This was Austin’s first time on the course.  Started rough but came around.  Tate had one of his better 18 hole scores today on a long course.  Great to see him play better.  Next round it will hopefully be in the 90s.  Our 319 today is a great score with the wind and cold.  This was 5 shots worse than last years district score.  Good to see our guy rebound after not playing well this week.”
