BURLINGTON — In was what a rainy, soggy season opener for the Louisburg golf team, the results were anything but dreary.


The Wildcats captured the Burlington Invitational title last Tuesday with a 338 and had four medalists on the day. Louisburg defeated Burlington by 10 strokes to win going away in the 8-team meet.

If that wasn’t good enough, Louisburg sophomore Derek Frederick also led the clubhouse with the best score of the day. 

Frederick captured the individual crown with a 78 and beat Anderson County’s Eli Martin by four strokes to win comfortably.

“I was very impressed with Derek and the others, but we still need more work,” Louisburg coach Brian Burns said. “At the same time, they did a great job managing a new course and avoiding the large numbers. I am proud of all of them.”

Along with Frederick’s performance, the Wildcats came three other finishes in the top 10 and garner a medal.

Junior Sam Frederick finished with an 86 and took fourth overall. Senior Cole Mynsted and sophomore Matt Stohs each carded an 87, but Mynsted won the tiebreaker to finish fifth and Stohs was sixth.

Louisburg junior Garrison Bloustine was 17th overall with a 94, while junior Josh Holtzen shot a 108 and finished 32nd.

The Wildcats will try and continue that momentum today as they travel to the Paola Invitational. Tee time is set for 2 p.m. at the Paola Country Club.
