The Wildcat boys' golf team shot a 338 for 18 cold-to-the-bone holes Monday, March 28 at Bunker Hills. Totino-Grace won the 11-team North Suburban Conference mid-season event by finishing with 320, six strokes better than Benilde-St. Margaret's and 10 in front of St. Francis.

The boys started the day on the very difficult west side of the Ham Lake course. Nick Bratrud shot a three-over 39 on the west nine to lead the 'Cats to a 167, good enough for second place at the turn. Totino's 162 led the field after the first nine.

"It was nice to see Nick (Bratrud) have a good round," said CL head coach Perry Aadland. "He has been hitting the ball well, but he hadn't been getting putts to drop."

On the east side, the Wildcats totalled 166. However, six other teams, led by Benilde's 155, were better than Chisago Lakes. "Our 167 on the west course was good on that nine," Aadland continued. "We just didn't go low enough on the easier east course."
