History made with team title at Betty Hefflin invite
The Red Oak girls golf team etched its name in program history on Tuesday, claiming their first-ever team title at the prestigious Betty Hefflin Invitational in Atlantic.
The Tigers battled through a competitive field of 13 teams and 66 individual golfers, carding a team score of 365, matching conference rival Carroll Kuemper. In a dramatic finish, Red Oak was declared the champion after the tiebreaker criteria went down to the fifth individual score, securing the landmark victory.
Leading the charge for the Tigers was senior Brynn Knaus, who finished strong in third place with an impressive round of 80. Addey Lydon contributed a 90, placing 11th overall and Emily Sebeniecher shot a 96, while Riley Burke celebrated a significant personal achievement by breaking 100 for the first time, carding a 99.
Nellie Blaine’s score of 104 proved to be the pivotal tiebreaker, securing the team championship. Ellison Johnson finished the day with a 111.
Council Bluffs Lewis Central’s Chloe Perfect was the individual champion with a round of 74.

Red Oak wins dual
 Red Oak notched a victory in a Hawkeye 10 Conference dual at the Crestmoor Country Club in Creston last Monday.
The Tigers’ Emily Sebeniecher claimed medalist honors after shooting an impressive 46.
Ellison Johnson also earned a medal, finishing as runner-up with a 48, narrowly defeating senior teammate Brynn Knaus (also 48) in a card-off.
Rounding out the Red Oak lineup were senior Addey Lydon (50), senior Riley Burke (51), and junior Nellie Blaine (57).
As Creston did not field a full team, no team score was recorded.
The Red Oak junior varsity team also saw strong performances from Paisley Getter, who shot a 51, and Jayda Edie, who carded a 55.
“While this meet focused solely on individual honors, I was pleased to see Emily and Ellison earn medals tonight,” said Red Oak coach Patty Henke. “Remarkably, this marks the fifth different girl on our team to earn a medal this season, showcasing the depth and talent within our lineup.”
