HOLDREGE -- McCook High School's girls came up a few strokes short Saturday in a battle for the team championship at the Holdrege Invitational golf meet.

Minden claimed the team title with a low 18-hole score of 392 strokes in the competition held at the Holdrege Country Club. The Bison girls and Grand Island Northwest tied for second, a single stroke behind Minden.

McCook was awarded second place by comparing McCook's and Northwest's fifth-place finishers. Taylor Hansen's 120 was one stroke better than her GINW counterpart.

The Bison girls placed two golfers in the top five individual standings. Shelby Allen finished third with a 90. Kaylee Samway was fifth with a 93.

"We had good, steady rounds by Shelby and Kaylee," McCook head coach Randy Ryser said.

Ryser said the creek on the Holdrege course again posed problems for the competitors Saturday.

"Once again the creek on the front nine at the Holdrege Country Club claimed some victims," Ryser said. "Very hard decisions whether to lay up or not, or what club to lay up with."
