The Shawano Community High School boys golf team ended its season with a tie for sixth in Tuesday’s WIAA Division 1 sectional at Brown County Golf Course in Green Bay.
Senior Braden Mueller led the Hawks (358) with a 10-over par 82. Bay Port (314) edged Notre Dame (317) for the sectional championship and a berth in the state tourney.
Mueller finished the front nine with a 42 and wasn’t far from the top 10, though everyone seemed far from Bay Port’s Jed Baranczyk, who finished with a 33 on the front nine and a four-stroke lead. Mueller continued challenging for one of the at-large individual bids to next week’s state final with a 40 on the back nine.
Green Bay Preble’s Isaac Prefontaine, who had a 38 on the front nine, added a 35 on the back nine to pass Baranczyk for the individual win with a 73. Baranczyk (76) finished in a tie for second with teammate Max Baranczyk and Appleton East’s Sam Kuklinski. Mueller finished in a tie for 13th.
Pulaski’s Jake Kennedy earned the third and final individual at-large bid to the state final, finishing tied for fifth with a 78. He will join Kuklinski, Prefontaine and the two highest-finishing teams at University Ridge Golf Course in Madison for the two-day Division 1 final, which starts Monday.
Shawano senior Cole Huntington had a 42 on the front nine, but his 49 on the back nine relegated him to a 91 and a tie for 32nd. Sophomore Braxten Surber also finished with a 91.
