Sandpoint girls claim third at tourney

CHEWELAH - Led by Bonnie Snow's 95, the Sandpoint girls team finished third overall out of 14 teams with a 408 at the Sundance Tournament at Chewelah Country Club on Friday.

All six Sandpoint golfers were within 11 strokes of one another, posting the most consistent day they've had all season and taking advantage of some decent weather for a change. Anna Ballard shot a 102 to post her best round of the season.

“Nice to play golf and not fight the weather conditions,” said head coach Jim Alsager. “We're getting ready to break that 400 barrier. Every girl is capable of breaking 100.”

Kellogg won the tournament with a 392.

Sandpoint hosts its home meet Monday at Liberty Lake, with a 10 a.m. shotgun start.

SANDPOINT - Bonnie Snow 95, Michelle Stone 106, Jessie Merwin 105, Sandy Whalen 108, Anna Ballard 102, Morgan Braun 104.

n Baugh, McGinnis pace Clark Fork golfers

PRIEST RIVER - Brian Baugh shot a 47, and Lauren McGinnis a 53 to lead the Clark Fork boys and girls golf teams in their first nine holes of the season Tuesday in Priest River. Drew Wilkinson added a 51, and Megan Hess a 54, giving Clark Fork head coach K.C. MacDonald two boys and two girls capable of breaking 100 as they begin to round into form.

“It was our first nine of the year, so I think we did well considering,” said MacDonald. “With a few more tournaments, we should shave down those scores and be competitive in our league.”

GIRLS - Lauren McGinnis 53, Megan Hess 54, Brenda Davisson 65, Brittany Wilder 68.

BOYS - Brian Baugh 47, Drew Wilkinson 51, David Thibault 60, Stetson McElhaney 65, David Meadows 63.
