Boys Golf Team Finishes 6^th at Regional, Will Not Head Back to the D-2 State Finals

The Northwest Boys’ Golf Team competed in the highly competitive D-2 Regional Tournament at Island Hills GC in Centerville, Michigan Tuesday finishing tied for 6^th and missing out on qualifying to play in the State Finals with a team score of 324.  Vicksburg claimed the Championship firing a 304, Gull Lake was one back at 305 and Parma Western qualified 3^rd with a 308.

The Mounties were led by Jake Brafford who posted a 78 tying for 16^th individually.  Cody Rowe finished his round at 81 while Jarrett Osterberg and Riley Banks carded and 82 and 83 respectively to complete the team score.  Mason Beecher was the fifth score at 93.

“It was a disappointing day all the way around for the boys as they were not able to find a groove. The greens were tough and making birdies, which we have been one of the best teams in Division 2 all year, were hard to come by,” said Coach, Martha Cantlin. “Cody and Jake both had holes where penalties cost them as well, that made it difficult to score low.”

“I know that they were all very disappointed,” said Assistant Coach, Tracy Dryer.  We’re really happy that they will all be back next year!  With our team experience and another year of improvement we will definitely be a team to watch in 2026.”
