From Coach Kolbas...
We had a great 5 weeks of League with 2 weeks of stations introducing teams to skills and 3 weeks of team scramble playing 3 holes each week with a 9-hole score determining the winners and runner ups. The teams were given plaques to display at school and players were given medals.
Here are the FINAL STANDINGS for the 2024 Junior High Golf League:
Junior High League Results:
- Girls Team Champion – St. Peter’s #2
- Girls Team Runner-up – St. Patrick’s/St. Michael’s

Congrats to all the players and I’m so glad the final round was able to be completed after the forecast did not look promising. Below is the final standings for the league.
God Bless,
Coach Steph Kolbas
