HHS golf teams sweep windy Havre Invitational

Despite cold and windy conditions at Beaver Creek Golf Course, both the Havre High girls and boys golf teams took advantage of home course conditions en route to capturing first place honors at the Havre High Golf Invitational Saturday morning.

As expected, the Blue Pony boys team ran away with the tournament by a 15-stroke margin over conference foe Lewistown. Junior varsity teams from CMR and Great Falls High finished third and fourth place respectively. Havre High JV teams came in fifth and sixth place followed by Browning in seventh.

"I thought the boys team did just fine in some fairly tough weather conditions," said Havre High head coach Keith Evenson. "Our scores might not have been as low as we would have liked, but in all, the kids played fine given the conditions."

Havre High standout Trent Normandy fired a 4-over-par 76 to capture medalist honors for the day. Normandy edged out Lewistown's Mike Gruener and Garrett Rodger of CMR by one stroke. Havre's Ben Erickson finished in fourth place with an 81 and senior teammate Chazz Hurlburt was fifth with an 82. The Ponies also got an 85 from senior Tony Jensen, while freshmen Matt Hedstrom and Brandon Job both fired 86s.

While it was no surprise that the Blue Pony boys dominated their own invitational, a young and somewhat inexperienced Havre girls team also captured first-place honors on Saturday. The Ponies came in with a total score of 454 which was five strokes better than Lewistown. Browning was the only other girls team that brought enough competitors to register a team score.

"With the weather and how difficult the course can be, I was pleasantly surprised by the girls performance," Evenson said. "I thought that Lewistown would be the team to beat on the girls side and we beat them so that was real nice to see."

Charlotte Clausen of Great Falls High captured medalist honors with a 97. Clausen was the only girl to break 100. Jessie Scott of Browning and Anika Tuss were second and third, respectively. Brittany Job of Havre was fourth at 106 and Catlin Flament of Lewistown was fifth. Havre also got solid performances from Amanda Brock and freshmen Alli Ward. The two Ponies both fired rounds of 115. Morgan Zimmer and Catlin Anderson rounded out the scoring for the Ponies with a 118 and a 133, respectively.

The Ponies will be back in action today in Lewistown. The Havre High varsity teams will play at the Pine Meadows Course and the JV team will be in action at Judith Shadows Golf Club.
