Hornets golf team takes sixth place at NCMC championships

HANNIBAL - The Fulton Hornets golf team compiled a 365 total to finish sixth at the North Central Missouri Conference championships Wednesday at Norwoods Golf Club.

Senior Kory Masek led Fulton with an 84, barely missing all-NCMC status by a stroke. Sophomore Jake Hammerstone was next with an 86, senior Jack Brady carded a 91 and senior Brenden Hodges had a 104.

"It was a tough day with the weather, but the kids muddled through ... and tried their hardest. I feel for Kory," Hornets head coach Pat Kelley said. "Hannibal is a course where you've got to be pretty accurate and hit it straight. We had some issues with that."

Hannibal collected the NCMC team title, while Boonville's Brett Windsor was individual medalist with a 75.

Fulton hosts a quad match with Hannibal, Centralia and Wentzville-Liberty at 4 p.m. Friday at Tanglewood Golf Course.
