The Williston High School golf team continues to make progress in the early part of the 2010 season with a fifth-place at the Mandan Invitational on Thursday.

"I was really pleased," said Williston golf coach Dennis Healy. "Our third leading scorer went to help her sister move to Grand Forks."

Williston played Thursday's round without the services of Abby Wilt.

Williston golfer Kayla Barke shot a season-best 86 to pace Williston in Thursday's action.

Anna Peterson finished the day with a 98 for the Lady Coyotes. Peterson and Barke weren't the only Williston golfers to show improvement Thursday.

Rachel Anderson and Irelyn Huntley each cut down on their strokes.

"I was proud of Irelyn and Rachel," Healy said.

Bismarck Century placed first in the team standings with a 331. Jamestown's Laura Kraft earned the medalist honors.

"There's room for improvement," Healy said. "They've got a ways for them to go to feel comfortable about golfing the way they should."

Williston will now play at the Turtle Mountain Community High School Invitational on Monday at the Rolla Golf Course.

GOLF-- Lyons Township junior Madeline Gosz couldn't have asked for a much more exciting beginning to the season.

Golf team is set to tee off

Posted: 24 Aug 2010 09:29 AM PDT

The Williston Coyotes golf team opens the 2010 season Monday at the Lifetime Eyeware Classic in Jamestown.

It will be the first athletic event for the new school year, marking an end to the summer.

But for the Lady Coyotes, it could be the beginning of a couple of special seasons on the golf course.

Williston only lost one player off of last season's team - Miranda Zavalney. However, the Lady Coyotes have no seniors on this season's squad. And all come back with experience.

"We have good experience back," said Williston golf coach Dennis Healy. "Five girls that golfed varsity are back." Kayla Barke is Williston's top returning shooter.

"She will have to step up to No. 1," Healy said.

Williston also has Cari Zavalney, Anna Peterson, Abby Wilt and Rachel Anderson back from last season.

As a team, the Lady Coyotes finished seventh at state. Healy says the experience should help the team build improve on that in 2010.

"It's tremendous," he said. "Every year, you get better, and we want to stay in the top 10."

Experience is an obvious strong point on this season's team, which should only help as the season progresses.

"They know over the years that they are playing the course," Healy said. "They know the most important shot is the next one."

An area of concern for Healy is the lack of summer tournaments, the Williston golfers took part in.

He says Barke was the only Williston golfer to take part in summer tournaments on a regular basis.

Monday's action will be the first of a two-day event in Jamestown, which will bring in 108 golfers from around the state.

"It's kind of a good measuring stick for our team," Healy said.

After Tuesday, the Lady Coyotes will then prepare for the Mandan Invitational set for Thursday.

The Williston Invitational will be held on Sept. 10.
