with a time of 20:09 while
Brycen Locke had a time
of 20:56 followed by Brett
Greenshields’ time of 22:31.
Junior high also fared well
as the boys took fi rst place
while the girls took second.
Moody lauded the perfor-
mance of all the teams.
“From the junior high
through the high school it was
a great team effort by every-
one,” he said. “It was a fairly
diffi cult course because it’s
got some hills, some turns and
the mudhole they have to go
through twice.”
The team next travels to
Eagle, Idaho, for the Bob Fir-
man Invitational on Saturday,
Sept. 23.
Rat Race tourney heats up
The unusual heat wave over the Labor Day
weekend didn’t stop golfi ng couples from sign-
ing up for the annual Rat Race tournament held
at Alpine Meadows. Co-chairmen Gary and
Carol Marr, along with Terry and Cheri Lamb,
found themselves happily swamped with 90
entries. With temps in the low 90s, couples
came prepared for their favorite tourney with
polarized lenses and wide-brimmed hats.
Hot as the three mid-afternoon days were,
participants reveled in the cool morning shotgun
starts, and too, the balmy evenings spent out-
doors at the clubhouse’s practice putting green.
Friday evening, after the mini-tournament
and practice round, golfers participated in the
“slightly off-beat” putting contest, with Gary
Graybeal and Nancy Brown the winners.
