"The kids played really well," said EHS Coach Jeff Schafer. "Jackson played great hitting eight of nine greens in regulation making nine pars. Callaway continued to play super for a freshman and Sean had his best nine-hole match score. Jake shot 40 with two ob and did a much better job of keeping his round together. Hopefully we can take this confidence into the weekend at Mattoon."
