Tiger golfers second at Fillie Invite

The Red Oak girls narrowly missed the team title at the Fillie Invitational Golf Tournament on Thursday in Shenandoah.
The Tigers finished second with a team score of 377, just one stroke behind champion Clarinda. The event drew 72 individual golfers from 14 area teams.
Senior Brynn Knaus continued her impressive season, earning a medal with a seventh place finish after shooting an 87. Senior Addey Lydon also secured a medal, placing ninth with a score of 92.
The Tigers showcased their team depth with junior Emily Sebeinecher finishing in 16th (98) and junior Ellison Johnson placing 20th (100). Senior Riley Burke carded a 104 (22nd), and senior Nellie Blaine recorded a personal best of 107 (33rd).
“Our team demonstrated great strength today with consistent scoring throughout our lineup,” said Red Oak coach Patty Henke. “For our first 18-hole meet of the season, these scores are a good starting point, though we know we have higher aspirations. We learned a valuable lesson today about the importance of every stroke, and we will come back stronger.”
