The Froid/Lake high school golf team is enjoying a great turnout for the new season, with 16 players joining the squad - 13 boys and 3 girls. The group includes both returning veterans and new players, as coach Autumn Murray aims to qualify at least 4 golfers for the state tournament this year.

Why it matters

High school sports participation is an important indicator of community engagement and student well-being. A strong turnout for the golf team shows that Froid/Lake students are staying active and involved, which can have positive impacts on their physical and mental health, as well as foster school spirit and pride.

The details

The Froid/Lake golf team's roster includes returning players like junior Aleya Hobbs, sophomore Carsen Kelm, and senior Cody Olson. Kelm came close to qualifying for state last season. Coach Autumn Murray noted that many 8th grade students have joined the team this year, contributing to the large group of 16 players.

To qualify for the divisional tournament, a boy needs to have a 115 or lower and a girl needs to shoot a 130 or lower.

The strong turnout for the Froid/Lake golf team reflects the community's commitment to student athletics and extracurricular activities. With a mix of returning players and new talent, the Red Hawks have a chance to send multiple golfers to the state tournament this season, showcasing the program's growth and the students' dedication to the sport.
