⛳️The Ogallala Boys JV team had a great day to play today in Garden County and shot a season best 411 for 6th place! Mason Knudsen was only one shot out of the medals with a career best 95. Oliver Nielsen shot a career best 103, Ryan Oatts 104, Ian Brunkhorst played his first high school meet and shot 109, and Trent Scripter shot a career best 110. A solid effort by everyone! Next up: Leyton JV meet at Sidney on Thursday.

Finally some great golf weather today! Ogallala Boys golfers placed third as a team in Scottsbluff with a score of 335. Individually, Caleb Castillo placed 8th with an 82 and Corbin Murphy 10th with an 83. Jake Hiltibrand also shot 83 and only missed out of the medals due to a scorecard playoff. Luke Hiltibrand shot 87 and Colton Knispel 89. Scottsbluff Country Club is where Class B state golf will be played, so today was a great opportunity to get out on the course we want to be playing at this time next month! Next up: Varsity travels to McCook twice next week for a quad and Southwest Conference Championship. JV is busy the rest of the week with Garden County on Tuesday, Leyton (at Sidney) on Thursday, and Broken Bow on Friday.

Buses and breakfast will run normally in the morning. There will be no bus service after school, and there will be no lunch served for the high school students on this date.

Yet another very windy day for the Indian golfers. Varsity went to McCook and got 3rd with a 360 (one shot out of second place). Individually, Corbin Murphy was 3rd with an 82 and Caleb Castillo 8th with an 87. JV went to Perkins County and shot 440 as a team. Ryan Oatts was 8th with a 98 and Mason Knudsen 13th with 106. Neither meet was ideal to play golf in, but proud of our guys for staying mentally tough and battling through it! Next up: Varsity heads to Gothenburg on Thursday! #GoBigO #OGIndians #TheOGWay
