"Considering the conditions (windy and cold), I thought Dani's 80 was exceptional," Lead-Deadwood assistant coach Rob Hafer said.

The 'Diggers won by 36 strokes with a 345 total.

"I think that all the girls just really showed a lot of patience with the conditions today," Hafer noted.

"When they had a bad hole, they did not let that get to them."

West Central took second at 381, Aberdeen Roncalli was third with a 412, and Dell Rapids, Vermillion and Flandreau tied for fourth at 413.

Individually, Lead-Deadwood's Tara Hofer and Cara Liesinger of West Central tied for second with 87s. 'Digger Jenessa Rantapaa, West Central's Abby Feehan and Madison's Kelly Wilkens tied for fourth at 88.

Lead-Deadwood's other scores came from Cassy Rantapaa (90) and Ellise Nichols (101).

The state Class A will be at Madison Country Club on May 21-22.

"It was good to come to the east side of the state and see some of the teams that the girls would see at the state tournament on that course," added Hafer.

"I think West Central is one of the favorites at state. It was good to see them there and see how we stand."

you rambled, failed to stay on topic or exhibited troll-like behavior intended to hijack the discussion at hand.
YOU SHOUTED YOUR COMMENT IN ALL CAPS. This is hard to read and annoys readers.
you named a business or identified a business in a way good or bad. Contact the business directly with your customer service concerns or your praise – they’ll likely appreciate your feedback.
you believe the newspaper's coverage is unfair. It would be better to write Jerry Steinley at jerry.steinley@rapidcityjournal.com or call him at 394-8427. This is a forum for community discussion, not for media criticism. We'd rather address your concerns directly.
you included an e-mail address or phone number, pretended to be someone you aren't or offered a comment that makes no sense.
you accused someone of a crime or assigned guilt or punishment to someone suspected of a crime.
your comment is in really poor taste.
