The Girls' Golf Team was on the course 3 times this week making for a busy week. The girls started out playing 18 holes on Monday in the Franklin Invite. They were able to finish T-9 led by Freshman Remy Lichtig’s 87 and Junior Emily Laitinen’s 92. They then had two conference meets one on Tuesday and one on Thursday where they continue to show growth throughout the season. On Tuesday at Dretzka the team improved by 11 shots from previous meet there led by the trio of Remy Lichtig’s 42, Erin Tonnessen’s 47, and Ella Saltarikos’ 47. The team continued the downward trend with another improved performance of 8 shots with PR’s from Remy Lichtig - 41 and Erin Tonnessen - 43.
Both JV teams dualed with Brookfield East this week. In hard fought matches both teams came up a couple shots short but had some outstanding performances. JV2 was led by Lacy Privat’s 44 and JV was led by Caitlin Andree’s 40. All levels will be in action this coming week looking to continue the strong performances they have been producing.
Boys soccer traveled to Tosa East for a conference match on Tuesday. After a back and forth battle of possession in the first half, Tosa East got the first goal in the second half. About 10 minutes later Tyler Rahoy passed a through ball up to Aaron Dethloff. Aaron took a few touches forward then cut inside and took a shot from about 25 yds out off the left side and put it in the top right corner of the net to equalize at 1-1. With 12 seconds left on the clock Tyler Rahoy put a cross in off the right side and an inadvertent header from Tosa East found the back of their own net to give GTown a 2-1 win. Over the weekend, boys soccer will participate in the GUSHO Invite at Brookfield East. On Friday they take on Muskego and Saturday, Franklin. Good luck!
