Eagle River Secondary’s golf team saw their season come to a bittersweet end at the Valley Championship Tournament in Kelowna.
The team, consisting of Karter Anderson, Mytch Blight, Austin Miller and Colby Sherlock, was victorious at the A North Zones in Revelstoke on May 7, qualifying them for the Championships on May 20. There, each of the players excelled, but would up being disqualified for signing an incorrect score card.
“We would have finished fourth place overall if it wasn’t for the disqualification, “said teacher Jason Ostoforov, adding the team still managed to meet or exceed their personal bests for the season.
“Karter Anderson, he shot 96, which was his best round of the year,” said Ostoforov. “Colby Sherlock, he shot 86, which was his best round ever. Mytch Blight, he shot a 94, which was his best round of the year. And then Austin Miller, he shot 89, which tied his best round of the year.”
Ostoforov said there was something like a 60 swing difference between the winning team’s total and Eagle River’s. He also noted it’s been about five years since Eagle River has had a golf team qualify for championships.
