The Hi-Liners placed fifth at the EDC event held at Village Green in Moorhead Tuesday.  The team shot 324, 13 shots behind fourth-place Grand Forks Red River.

The Hi-Liners return to the Class “A” ranks after winning last year’s state title at the Class “B” level.  They return the entire team from a year ago.

Brian Zerface led the Hi-Liners Tuesday, carding a 78.  Shane Ost shot an 80, Nick Jenson an 81, and Ben Sorensen and Travis Ingstad both shot 85.  Jared Lentz shot 89.

“It was not a bad start, as we have only had one team practice outdoors,” said head coach Buff Murray.  “We had hoped to break 320 as a team and were not too far off.”

Fargo Shanley won the event with a 300, one shot ahead of Fargo South and three better than West Fargo.  South’s Coy Papacheck was the medalist with a 69.

The Hi-Liners play Kings Walk in Grand Forks this Tuesday in their next action.
