The Mitchell girls’ golf team had a strong showing at the Marchand Cup Tournament as they beat Yankton Tuesday at Lakeview Golf Course.
The Kernels came away with a 4-1 lead in four ball play on the first six holes, followed by topping Yankton 3-2 in scramble play on the next six holes, then they played even in individual match play on the final six holes to earn the 12-8 win.
Among the highlights for Mitchell on day, Macy Mock and Ella Flippin defeated Yankton’s Halle Stephenson and Morgan Sundleaf 2&1 at four ball, while Quinn Dannenbring and Alison Meyerink topped the Gazelles’ Jillian Eidesness and Tatum Hohenthaner by the same score. The Kernels secured their win in singles play with Mock and Stephenson all square, while Flippin, Dannenbring, and Meyerink each earned individual wins for Mitchell.
Mitchell is next hosting an invitational Friday morning at Lakeview Golf Course, including Pierre, Rapid City Central, Rapid City Stevens, Sioux Falls Lincoln, Sioux Falls Roosevelt, Sioux Falls Washington, Spearfish, Sturgis, Watertown, and Yankton.
