The Humboldt golf team fought through the wind and the cold on Monday to open their season with a fifth-place finish at Caney Valley.
Due to wet and cold conditions, the Cubs came into the meet with very little practice time and it showed from almost everyone.
Senior Ryan Sellman led the way with a fifth-place 87. He missed out on second by just two shots and head coach Scott Brady hopes his play, especially chipping and putting, takes a big step forward.
He has to play better if he hopes to check off some of his goals this year, Brady said.
Reid Smith came in after Sellman with a 104 which marked the lowest score of his high school career.
Drake Hottenstien had 107, Roni Bulk had 128 and Aiden Johnson had 142.
The Cubs will play in a junior varsity meet in Erie on Monday before the varsity hits the links again on Tuesday at Burlington.
Brady is hoping for some nice weather between now and then but with rain forecast for the end of this week, spring sports battle with Mother Nature will continue.
