Playing the best team in the NE8 this season, the Braves were not in position to challenge the 170 score the Barons produced, but it was still a good night for the team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Barons are now 13-0 on the year and a perfect 7-0 in the NE8. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our score of 202 is not our best,&#8221; remarked head coach Mike Macke (who very well may have also coached the final home match of his long, storied coaching career). &#8220;There were some tough pins and the course played fast as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/crosscreekdecatur.com\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"76\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/98.158.76.108\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/unitedwayouting-1024x121.jpg?resize=640%2C76\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/unitedwayouting-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C121&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/unitedwayouting-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C35&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/unitedwayouting-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C91&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/unitedwayouting-scaled.jpg?resize=1536%2C182&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/unitedwayouting-scaled.jpg?resize=2048%2C242&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/unitedwayouting-scaled.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/unitedwayouting-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Click on the link to register!<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Senior Meghan Pettibone led the Braves with a round of 48, starting with a birdie on the 10th hole. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;She played solid golf except for two holes, where two bad shots snowballed into two poor numbers,&#8221; said Macke of his No. 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same sentiment was true for No. 3 Abigail Blythe, also a member of this senior class. She posted two sevens on her card, but was +8 on the other seven holes. She finished with a 49. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addi Johnson (52) and Krosbi Butler (53) completed the scoring, with both seniors contributing to the team&#8217;s 202 total. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Addi has really come on here lately,&#8221; said Macke. Johnson was sitting at just +3 after her first four holes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We have two key conference matches next week. Leo will be tough to beat at their home course, but we are close enough to them that a good night can catch them,&#8221; predicted the coach. &#8220;East Noble is a team we have beaten in invitationals and one we need to beat to stay in the top tier in the NE8.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conference meet will be held at Cross Creek on September 9th. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bellmont Varsity Scores<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meghan Pettibone 48<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ella Hockemeyer 59<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Abigail Blythe 49<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Krosbi Butler 53<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addi Johnson 52<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DeKalb Scores<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sophie Pfister 41<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grace Pfister 41<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kaitlin Traylor 48<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jadan Tompkins 40<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isabella Karch 60<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bellmont JV Scores<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kinley Martin 63<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Morgan Huss 64<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ava Billman 66<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lyla Post 68<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While they still have 18 official holes to play at Cross Creek at next week&#8217;s conference tournament, the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5995,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[13,38,26],"class_list":["post-5994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports","tag-bellmont","tag-golf","tag-sports"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wzbd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image0-11-scaled.jpeg?fit=2560%2C1733&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5994\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5995"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wzbd.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
