One of Havre’s top female golfers in recent years just finished an outstanding 2011 college golf season at Montana State University-Northern, and for her excellence on the course, and in the classroom, she has received one of the highest honors in NAIA sports.
Former Blue Pony and current Skylight golfer Stacey Sheppard was named NAIA Academic All-American for the 2010-11 golf season. Sheppard just completed her junior season at Northern and was the top scoring golfer on the MSU-N team. Sheppard was a four-year letter winner at Havre High upon graduating in 2008.
In order to be nominated by an institution's head coach, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and must have achieved a junior academic status to qualify for this honor. Eighty-two NAIA student-athletes received the honor.
The race for the playoffs in men’s league golf at Prairie Farms Golf Course has reached its halfway point. And as of last Wednesday night, the first half the playoff field is complete.
Tuesday’s men’s league saw Korb Construction and Hole 19 score 121 points to claim first-place honors for the first half the season. Both teams will qualify for the playoffs which start in late August. Also making the playoffs from the first half on Tuesday night is Stockman Bank, which scored 117.5 points and Patrick Construction which scored 117 points. Hi-Way Bar just missed out finishing fifth and Tilleman Motors came in sixth.
On Wednesday night, Michelob Light scored 120.5 points to win the first half of the season. Michelob Light will be joined by Independence Bank which finished in second place with 119.5 points. Mariani Insurance qualified third with 116 points and Valley Furniture came in fourth with 114 points, tied with Havre Elk’s Club.
Both last Tuesday and Wednesday saw men’s league rounds hampered by more rain in the area.
Meanwhile, Ladies League at Prairie Farms saw Havre Heating & Air Conditioning score 25.5 points to take high-team honors for the night. The team is composed of Kim Evans, Kelsey Evans, Dixie Evans and Janice Fisher. Ali Ward shot a 42 to earn low gross for the night and Julie Mariani was low net with a 29.5.
