Rockford Boys Golf Team looking for Break

It has been especially tough on a young Rockford boy's golf team that is looking to develop some consistency.Since the wet and cold weather has been playing havoc with most spring sports this season.To make up for the early rust the Rams sent out two five-man teams to tournaments on Saturday. Five guys went to the Ranger Invitational at The Meadows and finished in tenth place out of 21 teams with a 333 total. Freshman AJ Suggestions To Increase Your Ball Striking Varekois led the Rams with an 80 at the Ranger Invitational.At the Fremont tournament the Rams placed sixth overall and were led by seniors David Keller and Nick DeLafuenta who both carded 80s.The Rams suffered their first conference loss since the start of the 2008 season when they squared off against Grand Haven and West Ottawa. The Rams shot a 169, however, Grand Haven came in with a 166 to hand the Rams the loss."We played very, very poorly against Grand Haven," Cullum said.

Junior Jake Stephan led the Rams at the Kent County Classic as he shot a 79 and finished in a tie for 15th place.
