Baxters medal in State B

Thompson Falls' team of three made big noise at last week's State B golf tournament at Eagle Rock golf course in Billings.

As Thompson Falls was without enough players for scoring teams, Megan Baxter, a senior, and little sister Ellie Baxter, a sophomore with the Hawk girls, and Kade Pardee with the boys were playing for individual honors only.

And earn honors they did, and in Pardee's case almost did.

Megan Baxter shot 88 the first day of the tourney and 93 the second to end up with a total of 181, good for fourth place with the girls.

Striving to keep up with her big sister, Ellie shot only slightly higher than Megan, carding a 95 and then a 98 for a 193 total and ninth place overall.

Since the top 15 placers automatically earn All-State B status, the Baxter sisters will go down in the record books as All-State players for 2021.

Unfortunately for Pardee, he finished 16th, one agonizing spot out of the money for All-State B honors, posting rounds of 89 and 83 for a 172 total.

The Thompson Falls golf team is coached by Gary Thompson.
