Bears golfers 5th at Michigan meet

Despite playing without its lead golfer, the Bonduel High School boys golf team managed a fifth-place finish Thursday in the St. Thomas Aquinas Academy Invitational at Riverside Golf Club in Menominee, Michigan. The Bears finished with a team score of 427 in the nine-team meet won by Peshtigo with a 362. Wausaukee was second with 370. Austin Acker led the Bears with a 93 and was the only Bonduel golfer who finished under 100. “We didn’t have our normal No. 1 golfer (Zach Acker), so I was pretty happy with how the kids played overall,” Bonduel coach David LaBerge said. “Austin Acker had a solid 93 and Mitch LaBerge shot his lowest round of the year (103), which included a 45 on the back nine. “Most of the kids played their best golf of the season.” David Parrott finished with a 112. Garret Reimer had a 119, and Matt LaBerge had a 121. Menominee Indian finished eighth but did not field a full card, so the Eagles were not given a team score.
