Mounties win big at FCC
Posted on Tuesday, August 19, 2008
FAYETTEVILLE — Rogers seniors Matt Keller and Hunter Mobley led the Mounties to their fourth victory of the season, this time a three-team match at
Fayetteville Country Club on Monday. The Mounties, who
won the season opening tournament at Springdale and two matches last week against conference schools, beat Fayetteville by 13 strokes and Springdale by 63 strokes in the 18-hole match.
The Mounties carded a 295, led by 2-over par 73 s from Keller and Mobley.
“ They played well, ” Rogers coach Marcus Alexander said. “ Everybody seemed like the kind of ran into a hole or two that hurt their score but parred out after that. Everybody had a hiccup but that’s about it. ”
Jes Sanders shot a 74 and Slade Hames and Weston Brooks each shot 75 to round out Rogers’ scoring.
Alexander said the Mounties’ solid play — which goes beyond the top five — continued Monday. Eight of the Mounties’ 10 players shot in the 70 s.
“ There’s no one in that top five that’s just guaranteed, ” Alexander said.
Fayetteville’s Eli Mattioli won medalist honors, shooting an 1-over 72.
Springdale shot a 358.
The Fayetteville Lady Bulldogs beat Rogers for the second time in a week, carding a 220. The Lady Mounties shot 241 and Springdale shot a 359.
Rogers senior Haley Sanders was the girls medalist, shooting a 1-under 71. Jill Kinslow (84 ) and Laura Beth DuBois (87 ) followed.
Sanders missed last week’s match against Fayetteville.
Ema Lavy shot a 71 to lead the Lady Bulldogs.
The Mounties and Lady Mounties are back in action Wednesday with a match against Van Buren at Eagle Crest in Alma.
