OSAWATOMIE — Iola High’s Weston Hines stepped up when his golf teammates needed him the most.
Hines was able to play straight enough to take home the best score of the day for the Mustangs.
Hines carded a 79 for fifth place overall.
Not bad, considering he’s usually the fifth-best golfer for Iola on any given day.
Shane Walden and Kaden Macha finished in a tie for seventh with a score of 80. Drake Dieker took 19th with an 86.
Matt Jacobs also competed for Iola, carding a 94 for 40th place.
“It was a pretty wild format,” Iola coach Doug Kerr said. “Weston really did a nice job of staying out of trouble.”
Iola won despite playing without the services of Adam Peterson, who missed Saturday’s tournament for personal reasons.
Iola hosts the Buck Quincy Invitational this afternoon at Allen County Country Club.
