Coming off of Tulip Time this past weekend, the Pella Christian boys golf team took 4th place at the 18-team Washington Invitational Monday, while the boys tennis team swept Oskaloosa 11-0.

Competing at Blue Top Ridge Golf Resort in Riverside, the Eagles boys golf squad shot 326 as a team. The meet also served as the third leg of the Little Hawkeye Conference regular season race, and Pella Christian extended their lead over second place Pella to 13 strokes. The Eagles were bunched closely together in scoring for the day, with Deacon Branderhorst leading the way with a +8 over par 80. Eliot Menninga wasn’t far behind Branderhorst, shooting a +9 over par 81, and those scores were good for 12th and 17th places respectively. Cooper Spronk recorded +10 over par 82 and Carter Brand shot an +11 over par 83 to wrap up Pella Christian’s scoring on the day. Landon Fransman and Connor VanZee rounded out the Eagles lineup with an 84 and 87.
