Warriors go 1-3 in Border Battle

By Ethan Hays The varsity Warrior baseball team won one of four games in the “Border Battle” with North Dakota teams Friday and Saturday at Harmodon Park in Sioux Falls. On Friday, WHS took on Fargo North and Fargo Shanley, losing 15-6 and 9-7, respectively. In the first game against North, the Warriors were right in it until nine runs in the last two innings earned North the victory. Next up against Shanley, the Warriors were almost able

to muster a comeback after trailing by five runs early in the contest. On Saturday, WHS fell to West Fargo 14-3 and came back to defeat Fargo North 9-2 in their second meeting of the weekend. The Warriors got out to an early 3-0 lead against West, before West drove in 14 unanswered runs in route to victory. In the final game of the weekend, the Warriors found success in their pitching. Junior Alex Bertram pitched six innings, allowing two runs, four hits, striking out eight,

and surrendering zero walks. Bertram also helped at the plate as he and teammates juniors Brandon Ford and Mitchell Tolk each had three hits in the contest. Coach Chad Barman had positive words following the weekend. “Even though we dropped three of four games, it was a good weekend for evaluation and to get a lot of at-bats,” Barman said. The varsity squad will next be in action against O’Gorman on Tuesday at 5 p.m. at Harmodon Park.

Please share—leave on lunch tables until 5B

Golf courses will be in full-swing soon Willow Run Golf Course has been operational for the past two weeks, and as someone who has worked there for two years and the grandson of the golf pro, I was the first person to be called to come work when golf carts were allowed on the course. Hear me. . . I am used to the crazy golfers that show up when the weathAlex Barron er isn’t ideal, but it always astounds me that people will show up and golf 18 holes when it is 35 degrees and lightly raining. I’d rather be at home sleeping or quite frankly doing anything but golfing, but no, for these hardy souls, golfing is a necessity in their weekly lives

and they will take on the cold just to then be disappointed when they go over par. Then, they leave all of their trash and cigarette butts in the cart for the lucky cart kid (me) to clean up because they can’t be bothered to use the garbage cans placed conveniently on every hole. Ugh. OK, enough ranting! Golf is probably the hardest sport to become good at that I’ve ever played, but it is also one of the most relaxing activities to take part in. Being out in nature is very fun, and when you finally “get” it, it can’t be beat. So even if you are a crazy person and like to golf on “less than perfect” days, or you are a golf “casual” like me who only plays on nice days with your friends, I think you will agree that golf is pretty fun, even if you’re bad at it. Try it out soon. Just be nice to the carts! Senior Alex Barron wants you to hit him up if you’re trying to golf.

Sergio Garcia wins Masters in playoff By John Cherwa Los Angeles Times (TNS) AUGUSTA, Ga. — The record will show that Sergio Garcia won his first major on his 74th try on the 73rd hole of the 81st Masters tournament. But most who were watching on Sunday will tell you that he won the tournament on the 13th hole when he and Justin Rose both made pars. Two pars decided the tournament? It makes sense if you relive Sunday’s final round, which turned out to be match play between Garcia and Rose. In the end, it was the only pairing that mattered. Garcia led by three strokes after five holes. Rose led by two after 11 holes. They were tied at nine under after the 17th hole … and the 18th. “I knew I was playing well,” Garcia said. “I was very calm, much calmer than [Saturday], much calmer than I’ve felt in any major championship on Sunday.” The first and only playoff hole started when Rose pushed his drive to the right on No. 18, landing in the pine straw with a yawning tree branch blocking a natural route to the hole. All he could do was punch out and it wasn’t that good of a punch. Garcia had knocked his drive straight, almost 300 yards down the fairway. He put his second shot to about 12 feet. Rose put his third to 14 feet. Rose missed his putt to the left. All Garcia had to do was two-putt. He only needed one, draining it for birdie. Garcia fell into a crouch clenching his fists, showing the kind of emotion that has been a trademark of his 18-year pro career. At 37, he was no longer the best player never to have won a major.
