The Blair boys golf team was victorious in its season-opening dual Tuesday.
The Bears completed nine holes at Elkhorn Valley Golf Course in Hooper, finishing with 183 strokes to Logan View's 189. Luke Ladwig and Easton Chaffee tied for top honors, shooting identical 41s to lead the way.
“Good start on a windy day,” BHS coach Ross Udey said.
The Bears' Adam Grote, meanwhile, shot a 45. Kyle Studanski added 55 swings and Landen Oppliger took 56.
In junior varsity competition, Blair and Logan View tied with 215 strokes apiece. The Bears' Connor Wayman, however, stood alone with a team-leading 50.
BHS continued competition Thursday in Oakland and next competes Monday at Ashland Country Club. That round starts at 9 a.m.
