Aberdeen 239, Centralia 243

A strong showing from Jaxson Larson gave the Bobcats the edge over Centralia with a 239-243 victory at Grays Harbor Country Club on Monday.

A little rain didn’t put a damper on Aberdeen’s senior day meet as the Bobcats took advantage of the softer greens and ended up with two scores in the low 40s. Larson led the team by shooting a 42 and Nolan King was right behind him with a 43. A pair of identical scores of 51 from Tye Williamson and Evan Waara rounded out the scoring for Aberdeen.

Aberdeen head coach Dan Sundstrom said he was glad to see his seniors step up help them get the win.

“It was senior night for the Bobcat golfers. For this match, four of the six varsity players were seniors,” he said. “The seniors were pretty happy to get a win on their last home duel match of the season.”
