The Clarion high school varsity golf team spent the majority of their weekend at the Country Club of Meadville competing in the Midwest Prep Classic. This is a very large tournament consisting of teams from Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio, many of which are private schools.

Our 5 man team consisted of Devon Lauer, Kameron Kerle, Lucas Mitrosky, Tanner Miller and James Keenen. We had a fine showing both days and finished in 6th place out of 21 teams. The boys should be proud with how they finished as we were up against some very good competition.
