  Carter Anderson and the Oswego Boys golf team had a lot to
• 0:24
  celebrate at Monday's Southwest Prairie Conference meet. The seniors shot a five
• 0:29
  under par 67 in the eighteen hole tournament, to take first individually
• 0:33
  and lead the Panthers. To their first SPC title since 2019, at
• 0:37
  Blackberry Oaks Golf Course in Bristol. Oswego carted a team score of
• 0:42
  301 at its home course, narrowly beating runner-up Plainfield North's 302. Chase
• 0:49
  Knutson and Jax Baxter also posted top-ten finishes for the Panthers. Knutson
• 0:54
  shot a 76 to take sixth, and Baker shot a 77 to
• 0:57
  finish eighth. Charlie Cooney rounded out the Oswego scorecard with an 81.
• 1:03
  It was Carter's sixty seven that gave us the win, Oswego coach
• 1:07
  Chad Pullman said. When you shot five underpar, then you've got a
• 1:11
  pretty good shot at being able to win. The other guys, the
• 1:14
  last few holes, did a pretty good job of not leaking too
• 1:16
  much oil. We just kind of maintained and gave ourselves a shot
• 1:20
  at the end. Anderson shot at or under Parr on sixteen of
• 1:24
  eighteen holes. This best stretch of the day came on the front
• 1:27
  nine when, after lipping out for Birdie on hole number five, he
• 1:31
  birdied six, eagled seven, and birdied again on eight. Everything was clicking,
• 1:36
  Anderson said. I was a little worried because I haven't been playing
• 1:40
  well this week, but I've been hit in the range and everything,
• 1:43
  so everything just came out there and clicked. Anderson was named the
• 1:47
  conference's M VP following the meet. It's pretty sick, Anderson said. I've
• 1:53
  been looking forward to it. It's been my goal since freshman year
• 1:56
  to win conference MVP. So it's nice to feel accomplished and get
• 2:00
  it done. Plainfield North also had an impressive showing in its second
• 2:05
  place effort. Evan Lee led the Tigers with a 71 to finish
• 2:08
  second individually, and Sam Espinosa was close behind with a 73, good
• 2:13
  for third place. Oswego and Plainfield North had matching scores of 301
• 2:20
  in the late stages of the tournament, with the Panthers already finished,
• 2:24
  before the Tigers added a stroke that dropped them to second. I
• 2:28
  was a little nervous, Ansterson said. It reminded me of freshman year,
• 2:32
  almost came down to one shot. But I believed in my team,
• 2:35
  and I knew we'd eventually get it done. Pullman said he was
• 2:40
  proud of his team and and how his players have developed since
• 2:43
  the start of their high school careers. This has been a special
• 2:47
  group, Pullman said. They started out as freshmen, they won the JV
• 2:51
  Conference tournament, and they've been really into it the whole entire time.
• 2:55
  They've put a ton of time over the last four years, and
• 2:58
  they've really given a lot to themselves and the game and each
• 3:02
  other. Plainfield East finished third with a 313. Last year's champion Oswego
• 3:08
  East’s placed fourth with a 316. Minuoka 319 narrowly beat
