Perhaps nobody knows that more than Holton. This year, Holton was third at league, but took second at last week's regional and should challenge for the state crown today. There's a lot of times that league was a lot tougher than regionals. There's a lot of good golf played in this area. Golf in this league is strong enough to pull it off.
History supports that statement.
Since 1980, the league has won seven state crowns. Holton captured the 4A crown in 1997. The Wildcats posted a 306 at last Monday's regional meet in Holton, finishing only behind Kansas City Piper, which blistered the course for a 297. Despite being relatively young with two sophomores and two freshmen, Holton began the season playing well before struggling a bit down the stretch. I didn't think they were mentally tough enough to get to state.
