H-BC boys open 2022 golf season in PIpestone

The Hills-Beaver Creek boys’ golf team traveled to Pipestone to compete against the Arrows Monday night at the Pipestone Golf and Country Club.
The Patriots dropped their opening match by a score of 170 strokes to 217.
“The boys did well for the first time out,” said H-BC golf coach Dan Ellingson. “Pipestone is one of the better teams we will have a chance to play against all year.”
He said the team was missing a golfer due to a conflict with another school activity, and he said all the girls’ varsity players will be back next meet.
“We are looking forward to greens being cut on the courses and more practice outside,” Ellingson said.
“Our next goal is to get back under 200 as a team score,” said Ellingson.
Senior Austin Allen led the way for the Patriots by shooting a 48, followed by seniors Jacob Axness (52), Daniel Martinyuk (55), Ethan Kruger (62) and Robbie Drake (66). 
Junior Braxton Thompson for Pipestone led all scorers with a score of 36. 
Both the boys’ and girls’ H-BC golf teams travel to Fulda on Tuesday.
