McDowell, Shafer lead Whitehall golf to 12th-place finish at state

Like their cross-river rivals, the Whitehall Vikings had a good finish to the Division 3 state finals Saturday at Bedford Valley Golf Course. Whitehall finished 12th in all and had the eighth-best score of all teams on Saturday's day two, with a team score of 390-377-767. Grand Rapids Catholic Central romped to the title, beating everyone else in the field by 65 strokes.
Grace McDowell went out in style for Whitehall, as the Viking senior was the team's top scorer over the weekend. Her score was 88-86-174, good for 21st place overall. She had three birdies across her two rounds.
Riley Shafer was also strong for Whitehall, going 94-90-184 to finish 36th overall, and second among freshmen. Shafer only had one hole all weekend where she scored worse than two over par.
Morgan Garcia shot 105-99-204 for the Vikings, and Felicity Dingman managed a 103-102-205. Kelsie McClure rounded out Whitehall's efforts at state, with a 105-108-213.
