?ÄúOur team is looking good this year. The top four teams qualify to come back on day two of sections and we were 10 strokes from that cut off. We have a little more work to do on the greens, but I am very happy with the progress that our team has made so far this year; when Mother Nature cooperates,?Äù said Coach Zach Boser.
