Varsity:  4/24-The Wildcats were in action Monday, April 24th @ Beatrice Country Club for the Beatrice Invite . Beatrice Country Club is a challenging track that is firm and fast. If you couple this with sustained 30mph winds and gusts up to 50mph, you have a recipe for some high scores. The boys from West hung tough and although scores were high, they were good, relative to the field. Individually the Cats were led by JT Engelbart and Ryan Rogers both shooting 88 and tying for 4th overall. After scorecard playoffs Engelbart finished 4th and Rogers 6th. Team Score: 367 3rd of 8 Teams JT Engelbart: 88 T4th 4th via scorecard playoff-Christian Hall: 97 Parker Shamburg: 98 -Tyler Hahn: 94-Ryan Rogers: 88 T4th 6th via scorecard playoff  4/27- The Wildcats were in Action Thursday, April 27th @ Yankee Hill Country Club for the Capitol City Invitational . This tournament features the largest field in the state and is a great gage for where your team is at heading into conference and district play. The team posted a score of 321 and finished 8th of 24 teams. While this isn't the finish they had hoped for there is plenty more in the tank and the Cats will look to bring this out down the stretch. Individually the Cats were led by Parker Shamburg who fired a 78 and missed medaling by one stroke. Team Score: 321 8th of 24 Teams-JT Engelbart: 85-Christian Hall: 80-Parker Shamburg: 78-Tyler Hahn: 80-Ryan Rogers: 83 JV:  4/25-Millard West JV Golf competed Tuesday in the Skutt Catholic Invitational at Tiburon Golf Course. The team shot 372 and finished 6th of 13 Teams. The Wildcats were led by Michael Hennessy who shot 83 placing 8th and Michael Ilg who shot 89 placing 14th. Millard West Team Score - 372 6th of 13-Michael Hennessy 83 - 8th-Michael Ilg - 89 - 14th-Jack Olson - 105-Brett Leighty - 98Sean Winters – 102  4/26-Millard West JV Golf competed Thursday in the Elkhorn Invitational at Indian Creek Golf Course. Team scoring for the event was a unique best ball format. Normally teams play five players and the low four 18 hole scores account for the team total. For this event they took the 5 scores for each individual hole and counted the low four scores on each hole for the team total. The Cats were short handed with only 4 players eligible to play. The team shot 365 and finished 12th. Individually the Wildcats were led by Junior Nolan Engelbart who shot 86 finishing tied for 12th overall. Millard West Team Score - 365 12th of 14-Michael Hennessy - 90-Zach Paulison - 92 -Nolan Engelbart - 86 T12-Ethan Nelson - 97

Our second goal came about 3 minutes later from a beautiful shot from Ashlyn Turk (assist Megan Kenney). The last 31 minutes of the game was total grit with some amazing saves from Brenna Hansen.

Ashlyn Turk scored in the first 4 seconds. She dribbled past 7 girls in our first shot and goal of the game. Chaise Pfanstiel shot from way outside the 18 for the 2nd goal and then received an assist from Maddie Leucona for her second goal (3rd of the game). Megan Kenney had a beautiful left footed shot (and goal) into the upper left hand corner of the goal (assist from Natalie Hall). Karlie Ellis assisted Sophia Krzyzanowski in our 5th goal of the game. Sophia took a one touch blast right past LSW's keeper. Brenna Hansen with 2 saves and the shutout!  4/29- With it tied at halftime, the Wildcats made some minor adjustments to come out strong at the beginning of the 2nd half. Sierra Schmidt got fouled in the box which allowed for Riley James to make the PK. Our second goal came with about 10 minutes left from Natalie Hall. The Wildcats ended their PERFECT season being 14-0. Scoring 66 goals and allowing NONE. Of the 21 players on the team, 15 scored at some point throughout the season! Such a fantastic season! Great job girls!! Reserve:  4/24- Reserve falls to Westside 3-1. Olivia Schuster scored off of a combination from Heidi Nigro and Mackenzie Parker. After Westside scored two quick goals, the team made adjustments and played a tough defensive game led by Kiley Johnson.
