PCM boys win third straight HOIAC championship

STATE CENTER — None of the six golfers in PCM’s boys lineup shot career-best rounds during the Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference tournament on Tuesday.

But the Mustangs still found a way to win their third straight conference title at Lincoln Valley Golf Course.

Jeffery McDanel was the runner-up medalist, Tate Tangeman placed sixth and Easton Van Veen was eighth as PCM shot 316 and edged Class 3A Nevada (318) by two strokes.

South Hamilton (338), Roland-Story (341), Greene County (347), host West Marshall (350), Grand View Christian (366) and Saydel (371) completed the field. Perry did not have enough golfers for a team score.

McDanel led the Mustangs with a 75 and Tangeman posted a 77 in sixth. Van Veen carded an 81 in eighth and the final counting scores came from Pete Kiernan (83) and Charlie Ford (83). Parker DeHaai (93) turned in a non-counting score.

Nevada’s Parker Rodgers was the meet medalist with a 72. The Cubs’ four scoring golfers went 72-80-82-84.
