At Cabinet View Golf Course in Libby for the Western A Divisional, both Polson teams swept team honors. Pirate Carson Hupka took medalist honors for the boys after carding a two under par 70, while Lady Pirate Ashley Maki finished runnerup, trailing girls medalist Katie Lewis of Frenchtown by a mere handful of strokes. The Pirates placed four among the top five with their fifth member still making the top ten. Three of the four Lady Pirates placed among the top four, while Kila Cannon tied sixteenth a mere stroke from making the top fifteen. Ronan Maidens Alyssa Pretty On Top and Hanna Lytton both placed among the top tier fifteen, while Chief Colter Cornwell punched his ticket to state for the Ronan boys.

The top four teams and next eight individuals advance to compete in the State A Tournament held in Hamilton next weekend. The top fifteen finishers are conferred with all-conference recognition.
