Lincoln Lutheran had two golfers shoot personal-best scores on Tuesday. Another Lutheran golfer, who had just taken up the game, gave the team a major boost on the first day. It all came together in the form of a state championship. The Warriors didn't let go of their first-round lead, and shot a 765 to win the Class C girls state golf tournament at Lake Maloney Golf Club in North Platte. Lutheran junior Grace Fahleson, who shot a 90 on Monday, came back and shot a personal-best 83 in tougher conditions Tuesday. She finished tied for seventh. Sophomore Rachael Volin shot a personal-best 90 in the final round and finished with a 185 for the tournament to place 16th. Senior Hannah Ernst, who started playing competitive golf for the first time two months ago, shot a 100 on Monday, which was a key score.

Coach Sue Ziegler picked up her 400th career victory when Lincoln Lutheran went 2-0 in pool play Thursday at the Centennial Conference Tournament in Hastings. "I'm inspired every day by the players and my assistant coaches. I feel very blessed to be a part of that culture on a daily basis," Ziegler said. "It keeps me going every day. I've had some great student-athletes throughout the years that I feel very fortunate to be a part of whether it be through teaching or coach. Many (coaching) assistants that have turned into long-term relationships. Relationships over the years that have left many memories for many years to come." "Our word for the day was smart. To play smart and stay in the moment and do our best," Ziegler said. "I kept reminding of them of that when we were down. Don't worry about win or lose, stay in the moment and stay focused."
