Sevastopol Takes Conference Golf Title

The Sevastopol High School golf team cruised to a comfortable victory at the 18-hole conference championship held on Tuesday, May 4 at Northbrook Country Club, capturing its second conference title in the last three years. Pioneer Rob Leist earned the tournament’s medalist honors with a score of 75 and was named conference Player of the Year.

Both Sturgeon Bay and Gibraltar finished 23 strokes behind the Pioneers (362) with Sturgeon Bay securing second-place in a card playoff. Oconto finished fourth (368) while Southern Door trailed in fifth (375).
