A single stroke made the dif-
ference. That was the tale Tues-
day of last week, as South Cen-
tral High School opened its 2006
varsity golf season with a win.
The Timberwolves took the
team championship of the annual
Pratt Skyline Invitational Tour-
nament. The event was played at
the Green Valley C9urse, lo-
cated at the north edge of Pratt.
But Skyline High School was the
meet host for the day.
High winds were the order of
the day. The course is nine holes
and has a men's par of 36
strokes. But each linkster played
two rounds, so the 18-hole par
was 72 strokes."
Each team was allowed to
enter six golfers, but only the top
four were counted as any squad's
final total score.
South Central took just 360
strokes for its best four golfers

in
of the day over the 18-hole
mute. That was just one stroke
better than Pretty Prairie High
School, which carded a score of
361 strokes for 18 holes.
Greensburg High was a close
third with 363, and the junior-
varsity squad from Pratt High
School finished fourth with 373
strokes. Fifth went to Cunning-
ham at 413.

enth went to the varsity squad
from Skyline High with 603. The
junior-varsity unit of Pratt Sky-

Ninth and last was Ashland High

Medalist for the day was

with a score of 41-39--80.
Senior Ben Murphy of South
Central was runner-up, shoot-
ing 44-40--84. Third went to
Alex Reinecke from Greensburg
at 45-40--85.
Adrian Gardea was the see-

Kekoa Mendenhall, just a Tim-
berwolf sophomore, had the
fourth-best SCHS score of 48-
46---94.
Rounding out the "counting
four" for South Central were
Murphy, Gardea, Klein, and

played for the South Central var-
sity team Tuesday were junior
Trevor Sherman at 45-50--95,
and senior Chesney Clark, who
carded 55-54---109.
All six Timberwolf golfers
Tuesday won meet medals, as
members of the tourney title

elated. She noted that she be-
came the first-ever girl golfer in
the history oftbe sport at South
Central to win a varsity golfing
medal.
The Timberwolves are
coached by seven-season vet-
eran Richard Thompson. A
