High School Sports

Results from a variety of high school sports.

Golf

The Columbia Central Boys Golf team played a league jamboree yesterday at Hankhills Golf Course, hosted by Leslie High School. The team finished with a season-best score of 178, good enough for 4th place. The team was led by Parker Gough, who shot his best round of the year at a 39, three over par. The next event for the boys’ golf team will be a two-man scramble this Friday at Lakeland Hills Golf Club.

Tennis

On Tuesday, the #8 Western Girls Tennis Team traveled to #9 East Grand Rapids and battled in a 1-7 loss.  1 singles player Dru Porter got the lone win with a 6-2, 6-1 performance.  Another highlight of the afternoon was the play of 4 doubles of Silvia Baker and Anna Willinger who took their opponents to a third set only to fall to the Pioneers 5-10 in the third set tiebreaker.  The entire team played hard and elevated their game tremendously but ultimately fell to the multi-time state champion school.  Next up for the Panthers is an away match on Thursday vs Hastings at 4 pm.  Let’s go Panthers!

The Columbia Central Varsity Girls Tennis team battled Lumen Christi tonight and ended with a 4-4 tie.  Earning points for the Golden Eagles were Lydia Sanders, Ashley Yang, Madonna Chehade, Olivia Slusher and Kennedy Mitoska.

Track

Last night, due to weather postponement, the Golden Eagle track and field teams competed against the Vandercook Lake Jayhawks at Hanover-Horton in the Cascades West Jamboree. Being a jamboree, Columbia competed against everyone on the West side of the conference but their team scores against Vandercook were the only scores that counted towards Cascades conference standings.
