LA CYGNE — The Iola High golf team picked up a second place finish at the Prairie View Invitational on Friday.
The Mustangs combined to shoot a 359. Louisburg won first place with a 355; Paola took third place, 362, Prairie View came in fourth place, 373; Wellsville and Jayhawk-Linn finished in fifth and sixth place, respectively.
Brennen Coffield led the Mustangs and tied for first place after shooting an 83.
“Brennen had another solid performance, losing In a scorecard playoff,” Iola head coach Jeremy Sellman said. “He played well today. He was striking the ball well and making good decisions.”
Chris Holloway tied for fourth place after shooting an 86.
“Chris was dialed in with his iron play but after a scorecard playoff finished 5th,” Sellman said. “I’m super happy with his performance today as he stayed focused on his game and didn’t let outside influences affect him.”
Xander Sellman tied for 14th place and finished stroking a 94.
“Xander struggled all day with his putting,” said Sellman. “I haven’t seen him miss this many putts in a tournament. He really had a hard time judging the speed of the greens.”
Ethan Harris tied for 16th place and shot a 96.
“Ethan had his best tournament round of his career,” Sellman added. “He was pumped about his play today as was I. Having him get hot right before regionals will really boost his confidence and will help the team score at regionals.”
Parker Andres came in 34th place overall after shooting a 134.
“Parker struggled all day fighting his swing,” Sellman said. “He got down early and never recovered. He battled through and kept a good attitude even though the course was not giving him any breaks. I know he will do better going forward.”
Iola hit the tees at regionals in Coffeyville on Monday. Results were not available at the time of publication.
