season off with wins at
the Echo Hill Invitational
last week. The girls’ team

boys fired a 361 to take the
team win. Other schools
that participated were En-
terprise, Cove, Wallowa-
Joseph, Echo-Stanfield,

the players also had to deal
with a light rainfall for parts
of their rounds.
Sophie Grant took first
place medalist honors on
the girls’ side by shooting
an 86 on the day and she
won by six strokes. Claire
Grieb was next for the Mus-

cole Propheter shot a 119.
Caitlyn Scrivner recorded
a 122 and Madison Combe

the third place medalist.
Kellen Grant followed with
a 92 and Jake Lindsay fired
a 98. Reno Ferguson was
next with a score of 100.

match of the season and the zanne, Heppner, who was
cool and rainy conditions
