Central, ND send golfers to state

Central junior Blake Driskell won the medalist honors Monday in the Class 4 District 1 golf tournament at Quail Creek in south St. Louis.

Driskell, a junior, was the only golfer to break 80, shooting a 78 on the par-72 course.

"There were a lot of high scores," Central coach Dick Wadlington said. "It was 38 degrees when they started and windy, and that course is very hard. When Poplar Bluff doesn't have anyone break 80, you know it's hard."

Poplar Bluff won the district tournament and secured the automatic team bid for the state tournament. The Mules, who finished third in the state last year, scored a 329. Oakville was second at 336, and Central tied Cedar Hill Northwest for third at 338. Jackson finished sixth at 365.

Central had another state qualifier in Kirk Lohmann, who finished fourth with an 81.

"We're proud of both kids," Wadlington said. "They've both been very steady, and they will represent Cape Girardeau well in Bolivar."

The state tournament will be May 16 and 17 at Silo Ridge Golf and Country Club in Bolivar.

Jackson did not have a state qualifier. Ryan Mouser posted an 88 to lead the Indians.

Class 3 District 1

Notre Dame finished third in the district golf tournament at Eagle Ridge in Farmington, Mo., and advanced two golfers to the state tournament.

Jonathan Blattel shot a 78 on the par-72 course and Will Lindman fired an 83 to make the top 10.

Notre Dame scored 344 as a team, finishing 14 strokes behind district champ North County and eight behind runner-up Farmington. Farmington's Barrett Belew was the medalist with a 75.

Weather conditions were a factor in Farmington as well. "It was sunny but the wind was icy cold and it really affected some shots," Notre Dame coach Jerry Grim said.

The Class 3 state tournament is May 16 and 17 at Rivercut Golf Course in Springfield.
