When his slippery 6-foot downhill putt caught the right side of the hole on the 18th, he ended the day with a career-best 69. “Aaron had a great round today,” said Seaside coach Jim Poetsch. “I think Car- ter Lee’s 69 (for Tillamook) on Monday really moti- vated him today. Aaron has worked hard to be one of the best players in the state, and seeing that 69 on Monday reminded him that there are other really good players out there. “Today he just went out and focused from VWDUWWR¿QLVKDQG showed what he is capable of doing.” 3RVDOVNL VKRW ¿YH strokes better than his pre- vious career-best score for the Gulls, while Kunde carded a season best score for the two-time defending state champions. “We had a pretty good team score today too,” Poetsch said. “(A) 329 will beat most teams on most days. But we can’t rest our laurels on shoot- ing a low score in April. We have some things we can still improve upon and our guys are working hard to get better every day.” Seaside’s junior var- sity team edged Astoria, 491-493.
