Eisenman and Burmester both shot 83 over their par-72 home course on another wet and windy spring day in central Iowa.

"I think our coach will most likely buy one more for individuals, otherwise I'm not sure who gets it," said Eisenman, who had previously been on Grundy Center's last two state tournament teams. "Flip a coin or something."

The senior-laden Spartans scored a 340 to lead the last team standings, gaining their place at next week's district meet in Cedar Falls and granting an additional team exactly the same chance.

AGWSR, with its 366 total, finished third to succeed to districts as a team initially since winning its 2A sectional in 2005. Clarksville, behind runner-up medalist Jaron Wagner's 79, moves on which has a 350.

Wagner lost around the second hole of your sudden-death playoff with NU High's Joe Weber, a three-time state qualifier, for medalist honors. Don Bosco sophomore Carson Barron, who tied Eisenman for 21st place at state last spring, placed third regarding his 81.

BCLUW came in sixth using its 376 team total, led by Chad Frazer's 89.

"You glance at the scores today then there is probably only 12 or 13 scores under 90, and we had two of the lower five and four of the dozen under 90, and so i see that i can see it's actually a tough track today," said Dirks. "Damage control is exactly what it comes from, be capable of maintain the ball in play. You understand there's going to be a lot of bogeys available by everybody, so stay away from the big numbers and you should be able to can be found in using a respectable score. Which is what we should did in most cases."

The Spartans' four counting scores were all top-10 finishers, with Jordan Curren carding an 86 and Clay Burmester contributing an 88.

Eisenman, the reigning NICL West medalist, had no spectacular shots to speak of, he was quoted saying, but simply one double bogey in the 40-43-83 day.

"I think we've pretty relaxed and understand how to play this golf course and then we don't must put a lot of pressure on ourselves," he explained. "The most sensible thing I can say to the inventors is definitely be smart. If you have one bad hole, maintain your head up, keep playing and play your own personal game."

The course and the conditions allowed for just six total birdies marriage ceremony, with Clay Burmester comprising Grundy Center's only sub-par number along with his 3 around the par-4 third hole.

"The thing about our golf course is it's really a tough location to shoot well, and you take into account the wind and it could make the course even tougher compared to what it already is," said Dirks. "So the boys are probably a bit disappointed by incorporating in the higher scores that they can shot but at the same time, it could be sometimes a tough course to score."

Eisenman stated it would have been a "two-club wind" all day long, however the Spartans still managed their game well enough to adopt a 10-stroke victory before Clarksville.

AGWSR, which finished fourth behind Grundy Center, Gladbrook-Reinbeck and BCLUW at Monday's NICL West meet in Marshalltown, was led by Owen Abkes' round of 87. Bryce Eichmeier shot 88, B.J. Reents had 91 and Derek Schipper 100 to aid the Cougars proceed.

"We knew it absolutely was likely to be tough, particularly with Grundy Center playing at their property course," said Cougars head coach Brad Hames, "but I told the guys that they may consider the next two teams and gonna be a dogfight, plus it turned into that.

"It's been a frustrating year that i'm proud of our kids, they've battled through all this year long. We awakened today and yes it was raining and windy and i also said, 'It's the next day, just like this has been all spring fellas,' so I'm pleased with them for battling through today."

Dunkerton and Waterloo Christian tied for fourth at 374 with BCLUW close behind in sixth place. The Comets arrived to Friday's sectional talk with higher hopes than having their season visit an abrupt end.

"We arrived thinking there was a chance and we did, we simply didn't play along with we're competent at as well as the kids understand that," said BCLUW head coach Heath Rhinehart. "With Grundy Center hosting, realizing that more than likely we were holding likely to win, and we all had that opportunity. And if we'd played as well as we're able to, that's in the grasp. It's disappointing."

Frazer charted the Comets' only birdie with his 3 on the par-4 eighth the next time around, finishing as BCLUW's only scorer below 90 and dealing 12th overall.

"That's one kid it is possible to count on day in and day trip," said Rhinehart. "He's had time to put up solid numbers, he might not position the lowest score available, but he's consistently going to impart us with sub-42 or 43. What else could you ask for, he played great all year long, the conference meet indicated that."

Cole Thompson was next looking for BCLUW together with his 95. Zach Johnson and Gabe Reyes both shot 96, followed closely by Logan Simpson's 97 and also a 103 from Jimmy Sharp.
