Jaguars boys golf team opens season with CMC meet on April 8; will be led by defending individual CMC champion Corey Tonn

The Jaguars boys golf team, who narrowly missed out on a Section 5A berth at last year's sub-section meet, will open the 2010 campaign with the first Central Minnesota Conference meet of the season on April 8 at the Osakis Country Club at 4:15pm.

At last year's Sub-Section 5A-North meet, Ortonville took the team title with a 331, followed by Chokio-Alberta/Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley with a 353.

Osakis is a first-year member of the CMC in 2010, having previously competed in the Quad County Conference that included teams such as Chokio-Alberta/Clinton-Graceville-Beardsley, Ashby/Evansville, Ortonville, Underwood, Wheaton/Herman-Norcross, and Henning.

The Jaguars will host a CMC meet at Prairie View Golf Course on Friday, May 14 at 1:00pm.
