Husker Frostbite 3/24/26 Once again Spring has sprung and the links are freshly mowed and showing their beauty at Higginsville Country Club golf course, as our 2026 Husker golf season gets it first taste of competition. Lafayette County C-l golf team hosted their first tournament of the season “Frostbite Invitational Scramble” on Tuesday March 24th with Warsaw, Oak Grove, and Lexington, joining our team. 36 players scrambled on the links, in tow with their coaches closely watching their performance, and several spectators began the Husker golf season with a cool, windy weather day. Huskers Gracie Arndt and Brady Looney paired up and tie/placed fifth overall shooting a 44 for the course. Katelynn Davis partnered with Rhiannon “Pink” Doss and finished with a 70, for a twelfth place finish out of 16 pairs. Everly Moore and Baiylee Coffey paired and placed 10th. Kasyn Otero partnered with Hattie Overstreet to turn in a second place team and 9th place overall with a score of 61. Overall, I am pleased with the performance and play of the team for our first tournament of the season. With only two players, currently eligible, returning from last year (Gracie Arndt and Brady Looney), we have a young and newly beginning team. So we have room to improve and will start that improvement with a coaching tournament on Wednesday March 25th in Lawson.

Lawson Coaching Tournament 3/25/25 It was a sunny cool 65 degree day on the links, heating up to a warm, windy 85 degrees as the Husker Golf team met up at Hidden Valley Golf Course in Lawson with 10 other schools to participate in the 3rd annual Coaching Tournament. Though this was a tournament that placed; top ten individuals and top overall team it provided coaches the opportunity to travel the 18 holes with their teams and enhance the proper pace of play, rules, and etiquette throughout the course. Of the eleven schools and fifty-five golfers on the course, the Lafayette County quintet, made up Arndt, Moore, Looney, Doss, and Davis, placed 11th as a team and had one individual place; Looney, medaling and placing 9th, shooting a personal best of 82. Overall it was a challenging day on the course for the team, but a learning one. Understanding how to adjust to early season, rough and wavy greens, where to lay-up when hit into water hazards, and controlling our temperaments when hitting a poor shot were some of the challenges for the day on the links.

Practices will resume Thursday with all eleven players eligible, to see who gets the call for the five-player team next week as we face the challenge our need of improvement and meet our first conference foes in a tournament at Warrensburg’s Sandstone Country Club Tuesday March 31st against Knob Noster, Carrollton and Holden.
