Golf: Weather creates problems for state tourney
Western News | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 16 years, 2 months AGO
The Class A state golf tournament at Whitefish has been shortened to 27 holes, organizers announced.
The tournament was moved from Kalispell to Whitefish because of course conditions in poor weather. But on Monday, play did not get started until 1:30 p.m. because of cold weather and frost on the course. Most players did not have time to finish 18 holes by the time they were called off the course just after 6 p.m. because of darkness.
The tournament was scheduled to resume Tuesday at noon, weather permitting.
Chelsea Oedewaldt, Candace Hendrickson, Zach Watson and Louis Cielak qualified and are representing Libby High School in the tournament.

Troy Softball Takes Two From Drummond
The Drummond High School softball team rolled into Troy Saturday with high hopes of ending a long streak of being on the wrong end of the score, and for half of the first game of the doubleheader, looked like they had every chance of doing just that. However the host Trojans exploded for nine runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, and then shut down Drummond in the top of the fifth, winning 14-3. Troy kept the bats hot in the second game, plating 21 runs to end that game early as well, 21-11.
