Delaire’s Williston squad got off to a hot start on their front nine, making five birdies and an eagle to go out in 6-under 66. On the back Delaire and company ran into a bit of trouble making back-to-back bogeys on the 10th and 11th hole, and finally a double bogey on the 15th. However, they responded with a fantastic birdie, birdie, eagle finish on their final three holes to post a score of 10-under.
