AHS competes at Florence-Darby golf meet

Grace Galle places seventh after winning chip-off

The Anaconda Junior/Senior High School varsity golf team was in Hamilton on April 1 and we're not fooling when we say that one Copperhead golfer came home with some hardware. 

Grace Galle tied for seventh for girls at the Florence-Darby Invitational at the Hamilton Golf Club on Tuesday where she shot a +28 100. She then went on to win a chip-off to take the seventh-place medal. 

Two more Copperhead girls finished in the top 20: Amera Cannon tied for 14th with a +45 round of 117 while Quincy Saltenberger finished 18th with her +49 round of 121. Lexi Stetzner finished 34th with a +74 round of 146, while Logan McKay did not finish as she withdrew from the match. 

As a team the girls finished fourth out of four teams with a score of +196.

On the boys' side, Jesse Jones was the top Copperhead finishing 20th with a +20 round of 92. Gavin Browning was 23rd with his +22 score of 94. Kellen Connors finished 28th with his +25 round of 97. Owen Krum was 35th with his +32 score of 104. And Shane Schalk was 44th with his +45 round of 117.

Overall the boys had a solid fifth-place finish out of 11 teams with a score of +99.

Up next for the Copperhead golf team is a trip to Green Meadow Country Club for a meet hosted by Jefferson County High School on Monday, April 7.
