A fantastic 2023 campaign will continue for the Pella Christian boys golf team, as they qualified for the State Tournament for just the second time in school history at the Mediapolis Class 2A District meet on Monday.

The Eagles, whose only other State Tournament appearance was back in 2001, took second place in the meet with a team score of 320. Pella Christian finished as the runner-up at Wapello’s Heritage Oaks Golf and Country Club behind Class 2A #1 ranked Beckman Catholic. Helping lead the way for Pella Christian’s first State Tournament berth in 22 years were top-ten finishes from Isaiah Breems and Deacon Branderhorst. Both Breems and Branderhorst shot a 78 on the day, finishing in seventh and eighth place respectively. Eliot Menninga recorded an 81 to finish in 13th place, while Cooper Spronk rounded out the team scoring with an 83 which was good enough for an 18th place finish. Landon Fransman and Mason Westercamp were the other Eagles in action on Monday, posting an 88 and 106.

Pella Christian makes their second State Tournament appearance ever on Monday and Tuesday May 22nd and 23rd at Coldwater Golf Links in Ames.
