The Rock Hills High School boys golf team had an uncharacteristic
second place finish in last Tuesday's Tipton Invitational Golf

course placed the Grizzlies in some unfamiliar territory with
their second place finish behind the host Titpton Cardinals. Tipton
finished with 304 strokes while Rock Hills accumulated 314 and

hosted by Riley County. The team left no doubt as to where they
were headed as they posted a decisive 14 stroke victory over second
place Riley County. St. John's-Beloit was third and Lakeside finished
in the fourth spot. The win sends the defending sand greens champion
Grizzlies back to the state championship match being held Monday
at the Tipton Oaks Golf Course, Tipton. Tipton Catholic High School
is the host team for the state event and the shotgun start is
scheduled for 9:30 a.m.
Devon Freeman took third place with his 18 hole round of 75. Sam
Flinn took fourth place by winning a one hole playoff. Micah Daniels
shot an 80 but lost a 10th place finish on the fourth playoff
hole. Adam Horn finished his day with an 82, Jordan Walter went
to the clubhouse with an 83 and Ryan Spiegel carded an 89. The
four lowest scores are used to determine the team score.
Devon Freeman took top honors in the field with an 18 hole score
of 72. Sam Flinn was one stroke behind at 73 and the second place
medal. Micah Daniels took seventh place with a round of 80 and
Adam Horn also shot a round of 80 and finished in eighth place.
