LEONARDVILLE — After cutting his teeth on grass greens through the 2013 golf season, Yates Center High’s Nick Schemper took to the sand quite nicely.
Schemper scored an 88 Monday to finish in 13th place at the Sand Green Regional Tournament, hosted by Riley County at Leonardville Golf Course.
Schemper advances to the State Sand Greens Tournament next Monday in Tipton. It marks the second consecutive year Schemper has qualified for state.
Yates Center’s other golfer, Derrick Heslop, carded a 115 and earned 26th. Rock Hills scored a 305 to win the team title. Riley County was second at 319. Both schools advance to state.
Rock Hills’ Devon Freeman shot a 72, one stroke better than teammate Samuel Flinn.
