Brett Miller led the Bears with a team low score of 43 which he finished 3rd place all-around individual.

Geoffrey Algiere finished with a score of 48 which placed him in 5th of all-around individual scores.

The varsity was able to finish their rounds that afternoon, however the junior varsity were unable due to the later start and deteriorating conditions. All played well and I very much look forward to this season with this group of young men.
