GH golfers fall to Rams

Grand Haven's varsity girls golf team came up short at Rockford's North Kent Golf Course, falling to the Rams, 186-211. Sierra Olthoff had a nice round for the Buccaneers as she carded a 47 after shooting a 63 at Hudsonville on Monday. "She bounced back from a tough start to the week and improved by about 15 strokes,' coach Roger Glass said. "That's right about where she should be.' Kristin Carlson and Martha Ramsey each shot a 51 for the Bucs, and Hailey Watkins carded a 62.

Well worth the wait for Bucs' Staal

Staal missed the season with a broken elbow - sustained while throwing the football during two-a-days - an injury that kept him off the field the entire year.
