From Coach Rokusek: The Trapper golf team had their final regular season meet today before regions next week. The girls played in Springfield where Macy Rokusek got 14th, Kailin Odens got 11th and Campbell Mogck brought home the 2nd place silver medal! The boys played in Tyndall today. All 4 boys had personal best tournament scores! Wyatt Fischer shot a 90, Asher Sykora carded an 86, Erick Buechler came in with an 85 and Brigham Rokusek was the low boy with an 84. Brigham tied for the last medal but missed out because of the tie breaker. Super proud of these kids and we are really playing well and ready for regions. Keep it up!
