Atlantic Head Coach Ed DenBeste: “Going into today, we knew that Kuemper and Glenwood were the two teams that would compete for the title and we would have to play well to beat them. Ben had a rough front with 3 penalty shots and shot 40. Great back though with a one under.  Matt played well today. Had 5 birdies. Had some bogies but kept it at one over. Great to see Cyle shoot his best today. 2 under is a great score. Mason continued his solid play with an 82. Austin had some struggles but got it going when he headed back to the back nine. Braden had his best round this year. We needed it today to take the title. Great job with back to back Hawkeye 10 Conference Champs. Very Proud Coach today!!!!!!”
