The Orcas Island Golf team teed off against Cedar Park/Shoreline Christian April 9 for a home game. The team enjoyed its first sunny match of the year and the Vikings came out strong. Graye Parnell shot a low 46 and was the medalist for the match. Parnell was closely followed by freshman William Coe with a low of 48 followed by Joe Kostechko with a 75. Freshman Keenan O’Brien and sophomore Zach Kostechko both had their best match of the year posting a 74 for O’Brien and a 69 for Kostechko.

On April 12, the team traveled to Grace Academy and played a tough match without key players Graye Parnell and Roo Smith, who stayed back for class work. Freshman William Coe lead the Vikings with a low 48 and freshman Mara Nutt posted 60, her lowest score of the year.
