This week, The Golden Hawks talked with KCII after their first round regional win about their goals and keys to success today. Reinier said, “We just have a really good relationship with each other. I think our key today is just staying calm and having confidence will help us a lot. We went and had a practice round at Williamsburg so we know the layout of the course. We can definitely do good there.”
Davidson continued, “We’re very much on the same page. We have multiple people that can do well. When someone is having a bad day we have people to back them up.”
Robertson added, “We’re all very consistent at lower numbers than both teams. All six of us are consistently low.”
Joining Mid-Prairie today are teams and individuals from No. 32 Albia, No. 12 Centerville, No. 19 Denver, Louisa-Muscatine, Mediapolis, and No. 10 West Marshall. Action continues all day Wednesday at Stone Creek Golf Course in Williamsburg.
