This could be our first chance in years to compete at state. Truckee and North Tahoe will be the teams to beat, but the kids are really excited and everybody is pushing one another to do well this season.
almost fourth meant perfect points rest team
It meant that the rest of the team had to be almost perfect to keep us in the race. And while we weren't perfect, we did well enough to end up in fourth place after the first day, only 13 points out of the lead.
battle competition level
This league's got an unprecedented level of competition. It's been a battle all year.

It's another GS race and the course should be longer. If we want to beat the North Tahoe and Truckee men we'll have be more aggressive and make sure everyone is there to race.

dedicate eventually game necessary overnight pays practice results short tame team time willing

extra flawless impressed kids lack pressure six stepped team
We only had six skiers, which put extra pressure on the team to be as flawless as they could be. But I have to say that I was really impressed with how the kids stepped up and compensated for the lack of depth.
capable five lower scores shooting starters
We need at least two scores in the mid-70s to be competitive. All five of our starters are capable of shooting lower scores.
putting short tee work
From tee to green, we're great. But our putting killed us. We really have to do a lot of work on our short game.
average exceed fifth finished goal player players possible qualified regions rest shot
If we would have had one more player and he shot the average of the rest of the guys, we would have finished around fifth place or better. Our goal now is if we can't get qualified as a team, that we get as many of our players to the regions as possible and the way they're improving, we could just exceed our expectations.
anyone close few shave short strokes
If we shave a few strokes here and there in our short game, we should be right there. It's that close and that competitive in this league. Anyone can win.
separating sixth strokes
If you look at the scores, there's only 24 strokes separating first and sixth place. That's not a lot of strokes.
came kids lower
The lower kids in the line-up really came through to get us through to the final.
