Here's how the Sub-Section 5A-North boys' golf race played out on Friday

Matt Goodwin drives off of a hole on the back nine at the Minnewaska Golf Club during the sub-section meet on Friday.

It was a wild afternoon as the scores came in at the Minnewaska Golf Course, during the Sub-Section 5A-North meet.

West Central Area, with only one senior on the roster, took first place honors with a score of 343. They barely edged the Jaguars' boys golf team, who came in with a 345.

WCA's Matt Wagner was the second place individual medalist with a score of 78. Logan Pfingsten took sixth with an 86.

WCA head coach Kraig Hunter stated following the meet, "After our top golfers came in (Wagner and Pfingsten) we were trailing B-B-E by one stroke."

Here's how it played out from there... Calvin Anderson came in next with a solid round of 91, but B-B-E's #3 golfer (Jordan Lewis) shot an 89 putting the Knights behind by 3 strokes. B-B-E's 4th golfer (Karl Knutson) came in with a 93. In the next group, WCA's Luke LaValley needed to come in with a 90 to tie B-B-E and an 89 to beat them. LaValley came in with an 88 giving the Knights a 2 stroke lead. They just had to hope B-B-E's #5 and #6 golfers didn't have lower than a 92 and they did not, sealing the Knights victory.

Boys' golf team standings at Sub-Section 5A-North:
1 - West Central Area
2 - B-B-E
3 - Chokio-Alberta/Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley
4 - Wheaton/Herman-Norcross

Area fastpitch playoff results:
Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg gets a shot at a section championship berth by virtue of their 14-5 win over Edgerton today in a Section 3A winner's bracket game. They lost to Wabasso in the winner's bracket final, though, by a 14-8 score. This sets up a rematch between K-M-S and Edgerton, coming next Tuesday (June 1) in a loser's bracket final game. The winner of that has to take on Wabasso in the Section 3A championship (June 3)...and they have to beat the Rabbits twice to advance to the state tournament.
