TWIN LAKE — Reeths-Puffer ended its season at Wednesday's Division 1 regional tournament with a 16th-place finish.
The regionals, hosted by Mona Shores, were played at Stonegate Golf Course.
While
the Rockets didn't have the day they hoped, they did at least enjoy
good finishes to the season. Senior Aiden Waggoner made a birdie on his
final high school hole of golf, chipping in on the 9th hole. Junior
Kristian Brown also scored a birdie on his final hole of the season,
narrowly missing an eagle.

“The team really never got started today," R-P coach Matt Pallett said. "Many of our guys got off to
slow starts. I am proud of how the guys battled through some of those
slow starts and kept fighting.”
Brown led the Rockets with an
81, placing 33rd. He was five strokes away from the final individual
state qualifying position. Waggoner added an 84. R-P's other three
players - Kaeden Benner, Kye Grant and Ayden Hartzell - each finished
with a 97.
“The last event of the season is always tough,"
Pallett said. "I have a total of five seniors who will be moving on...I
am appreciative of all of my seniors. They are a lot of fun to be around
and will truly be missed.”
