NEW SHARON – Pella made the most of their first time at Prairie Knolls Golf Course in New Sharon Thursday. The Lady Dutch shot a 366 to North Mahaska’s 414. Baxter finished with a 454, HLV-Tri-County 459 and English Valleys 488.

Pella’s Moriah Reynolds won a one-hole playoff over NM’s Aly Steil to take home the title medal. Both shot an 87 through 18 holes, then Reynolds won by a stroke on playoff hole No. 1. 

Pella had four players score 99 or less. Behind Reynolds was Emerson Lee with an 89, Harper Phillips 91 and Payton Roose with a 99.

Steil and Jocelyn Pinkerton shot under triple digits. Steil’s 87 was followed by Pinkerton’s 94. Elise Westercamp had a 112 and Lacey Campbell carded a 12. Addison VanderBeek shot a 125 and Breckyn Schilling a 126.

It was a great day to play 18 holes,” said NM coach Al Hodgeman. “Aly was right there, and Jocelyn played well. This was good for us to play 18 before Monday.”

Hodgeman was referring to Monday’s South Iowa Cedar League meet at Oskaloosa Golf. The girls will play the challenging 18-hole course. They will then play the opening round of regionals on Friday, May 16 at Pleasantville.
