HARTFORD – Aberdeen Roncalli moved up the team standings on Tuesday and finished third at the Class A State Golf Tournament. The Cavaliers finished with a total of 661.
“It was a good day for Roncalli golf,” said Cavaliers coach Jon Murdy. “We made a good move up the leaderboard.”
Dakota Valley won the team championship led by individual champion Logan Collette with a 36-hole total of 149. Milbank’s Jonathan DeBoer finished in a tie for third place with a score of 151.
Roncalli’s Finn Anderson shot a 74 on Tuesday for a two-day total of 155 and tied for seventh place. Groton’s Brevin Flies fired a second-round 73 and tied for 12th with a total of 160.

Roncalli had three other golfers finish in the 30s. Lucas Daggett was 30th with a 166, and Jesse Hernandez and Gannon May each tied for 34th after two-day totals of 170.
“I’m happy with how Gannon got to finish his senior year,” Murdy said, “making birdie on the last hole of the day.”
Matthew Gerlach finished tied for 45th with a 175.
The Cavaliers are already looking forward to next season, according to Murdy.
“I’m very pleased with how all the kids played, but they all want to get better for next year already,” Murdy said. “That is what is great about these kids. Always want to get better.”
