OTTAWA – The Louisburg High School golf team put together one of its better performances of the season and it was thanks to a couple of seniors.

At the Ottawa Invitational on Monday, seniors Brady Lambeth and Logan Glenn each recorded scores in the 70s and helped the Wildcats to a third place finish with a 320. The score earned Louisburg a team medal as they were just one stroke out of first place.

Ottawa and Piper each finished with a 319, but Ottawa won the tiebreaker to finish first at its home tournament. Paola was fourth with a 322.

“I did not expect them to get so close to Ottawa who always plays outstanding on their course,” Louisburg coach Brian Burns said. “Also, Paola is tough. I was very proud of the guys.”

Glenn shot a 78 to lead Louisburg, which was good enough to medal eighth. Lambeth, on the other hand, had his best performance of the season as he carded a 79 to get his first medal of the season and took 10th overall.

“Brady shot 1-under on five holes during practice at our course,” Burns said. “It was a good time for him to shoot in the 70’s at Ottawa. I was hoping he could shoot well on this course. He helped the team get a medal.”

Piper’s Erick Pahls shot a 74 to win the individual crown on the par 71 course. Central Heights’ Matt Percy was second with a 75.

As for Louisburg, sophomore Ty Martin shot an 81 to finish 16th overall and just missed out on a medal. Junior Hogan Welch carded an 82 to finish 19th.

Fellow junior T.J. Svoboda shot an 83 to take 20th. Senior T.J. Smith rounded out the Wildcat team with a 90 to come in 28th overall.

Louisburg returns to the links next week for two tournaments. The Wildcats will travel to Garnett on Tuesday for the Anderson County Invitational and then to the Linn Valley Golf Course on Thursday for Prairie View’s home tournament.
