The West Central Area Knights' boys golfers won their 3rd Quad County Conference Championship in a row on Monday and broke their school scoring record in the process with an impressive team score of 304.  The Knights had five boys post scores in the 70's.  The Knights took home 5 of the top 7 places.  Sam Hanson 75 (2nd), Marshall Dewey 76 (3rd), Brett Amundson 76 (4th), Mitch Dewey 77, (5th) and Peyton Hanson 78 (7th).  

Logan Kostelecky from OTC was the 1st place medalist also with a 75.  In the conference tournament, ties are broken with an actual playoff.  Kostelecky and Sam Hanson went 6 extra holes before Kostelecky came out on top.  "We are so proud of Sam, he is one of the grittiest athletes I know. He never gives up. He made some gritty up and downs to keep the playoff going for six holes," said Knights Coach Kraig Hunter.

Marshall Dewey defeated teammate Brett Amundson for the 3rd place tie and Mitch Dewey defeated Border West's Nolan Wilson for 5th place. Wilson took the 6th place medal.
