The Johnson-Brock golf team competed at the Class C State Golf Championship Wednesday and Thursday, May 27 and 28. The opening day brought warm temperatures, and the Eagles responded with one of their best team rounds of the season. Leading the way was Grady Behrends with an impressive 73, followed by Brody Koehler with a 76, Gage Rasmussen with a 78, Tate Hawley with an 80 and Hayden Gravatt with a 91. The Eagles finished Day 1 with a team score of 307.
The Class C field featured a highly competitive group of teams and golfers. After the first round, Johnson-Brock sat in fifth place with a 307--just two strokes behind fourth-place St. Paul, 305; four strokes behind third-place Adams Central, 303; five strokes behind second- place Kearney Catholic 302 and 13 strokes behind tournament leader Fremont Bergan, 294.
Day 2 provided nearly perfect golfing conditions with cloudy skies, calm winds and temperatures around 80 degrees. The Eagles knew another strong performance would be needed to move up the leaderboard. Once again, Johnson-Brock rose to the challenge. Although several putts narrowly missed dropping, the team competed with confidence and determination throughout the final round.
