Montesano places 11th at Kitsap Invitational

Montesano placed 11th out of 12 teams as the only 1A-class school competing at the Kitsap Invitational Tournament on Tuesday, April 29 at the Gold Mountain Golf Club in Bremerton.

Playing on the Cascade Course against a field largely comprised of 3A and 4A teams, Monte posted a team score of 508, led by Maggi Kupka, who shot a 95 over 18 holes to place 50th.

Lucy Scott (97, 52nd), Jessie LaLonde (102, 61st), Rory Gourdin (105, 67th) and Molly Krasowski (109, 73rd) rounded out the Bulldogs’ team score.

Monte’s Ashley Hill posted a score of 114 to place 77th overall.

“I am very proud of the girl’s performance, over a challenging 18 holes of golf,” Monte head coach Ken Waber said. “They played very well.”

Montesano followed up that performance with a 1-0 win over Fort Vancouver on Wednesday at the Fairway Village Golf Course in Vancouver.

The Bulldogs won via forfeit as Fort Vancouver had less than four golfers competing at the match.

Monte’s Rossi Newbill shot a 52 for a new personal-best, as did Avari Andersen with a 57.

Also posting scores on Wednesday were Rory Gourdin (58), Molly Krasowski (63), Ashley Hill (59) and Stevie Clezie (59).
