The Hi-Liner boys golf
team went to
Grand Forks
yesterday and finished in 7th place. The boys
were excited to finish a meet outside of the cellar for
the first time this year, even though their team score
was up a bit from the previous two meets. Our team score
of 352 tied us with Devils Lake, but after looking at
both teams 5th scores (tied @ 93) and 6th
scores, Valley City came out on top. Matt Sorenson shot
an 86, Shane Ost 87, Brian Zerface 88, Travis Ingstad
91, Nick Jenson 93 and Ben Sorenson 98. The Hi-Liners
are at Devils Lake Country Club

Tennis Anyone

On
Saturday, Valley City's got on the bus in the sleet and
headed off to Fargo for the West Fargo Invite. On
arrival, it was still sprinkling. After about an
hour of hanging around, the tourney finally was called
off. Coach Thiner from Fargo South and myself got
together and figured out a plan to play our make-up
match that day at Courts Plus in Fargo. Knowing full
well that my girls will be playing a several matches
indoors at regionals this weekend, we pounced on this
opportunity.

Head Coach Matt Nielson said - Playing indoors was
extremely valuable for us. It is a different atmosphere
with the sounds, the lighting, and how the crowd views
the matches. Hopefully, this experience will take
the 'awe' factor out of next weekend at the indoor
facility in Grand Forks.
Eryn Lutjens played a tough match against Anna Wanzek.
Anna is a great player who spends a lot of time at
Courts Plus in the winter, so for Eryn to be that close
was amazing!
Our #4 through #6 singles all had a shot at winning. All
three played great making smart shots and decisions, but
two of them came out on the wrong side of the super
tiebreakers. I couldn't be happier with how these girls
played!
Hilary Larson stepped up to the plate for Valley today.
A varsity team member was gone for the match, so Hilary
played her second varsity match of her life. Right now,
she is 2-0 lifetime with wins over Red River and Fargo
South! Great job Hilary and Bridget for the win at #3
doubles!
