- 0:21Ottawa's Harris advances to state for third straight season. In the Class
- 0:25IIA Sycamore sectional at Kishwaki Country Club in DeKalb on Monday, Pirates
- 0:30Senior Briar Harris shot a 79 to earn one of the final
- 0:33individual qualifying spots to this weekend's state finals at Wyburn Golf Club
- 0:38in Normal. I feel I hit the ball pretty well for most
- 0:42of the day, but at the end of the day when you're
- 0:44at this point of the season it's all about your score, Harris
- 0:48said. I hit a few good putts, and really just didn't shoot
- 0:51myself in the foot on any hole. I actually knew pretty much
- 0:55where I was at going into my final few holes, but tried
- 0:58not to let it affect my play. I can only control what
- 1:01I can control, but I knew if I could just par out,
- 1:04I'd more than likely be in good shape. I had a bogey
- 1:07on sixteen which was unfortunate, but was able to go par par
- 1:10to finish up. I ended up playing just good enough to move
- 1:15on, which I'm really happy about because there were a lot of
- 1:18really good golfers there, It will be the third consecutive trip to
- 1:22the state finals for Harris and the first as an individual. I've
- 1:27actually played Wybring quite a bit over the years, including a lot
- 1:31this summer, so I know it pretty well, he said. I'm just
- 1:34gonna go there, do the best I can, and just enjoy the
- 1:37experience. As a team, Ottawa failed to advance, carding a 337-tie for
- 1:43seventh. Ottawa also had counting scores from James Threadgill, 82, Bodie Martin,
- 1:4987, and Joshua Armstrong 89, while Logan Cottingham had an 89 and
- 1:54Jackson New had a 91. Streeter which also finished with a 337
- 2:00was led by counting scores from Brendan Stilwell, 82, Mad McCloskey, 84,
- 2:05Bryce Blakemore, 85, and Jack Stidnicki 86, with Joe Stidnicki shooting
- 2:11a 90 and Rocco Van Duser a 93. Sandwich sophomore Finley Taxis
- 2:16posted an eighty-eight as an individual. Taxis fought his way through the
- 2:20ups and downs all day long, and just could not seem to
- 2:23catch the brake he needed to get rolling, Sandwich coach Mike Butler
- 2:28said. He struck the ball well, and his short game was also
- 2:31very good through most of the round. What I was most proud
- 2:35of, though, was his ability to keep his focus and maintain a
- 2:38positive attitude. I have seen other golfers in his position wilt from
- 2:42the frustration, but he just took it in stride and never gave
- 2:46up. He is a great golfer, and I know he will learn
- 2:49a lot from today's result, and I look for him to come
- 2:51back even stronger next fall. Earlville's Browder, Somonox Wold both have season
- 2:57come to a close. In the Class I a Byron Sectional at
