Glacier boys 6 strokes off pace at State AA

BUTTE — After 18 holes at the State AA golf tournament, the Glacier boys find themselves looking up not just at Missoula Sentinel but also Helena Capital.

With Jack Schaefer among three boys shooting even-par 72, the Sentinel Spartans ended Thursday with 303 strokes at the Butte Country Club. In second is Capital at 306; the Bruins’ John Gilbert also shot 72 Thursday, as did Great Falls Russell’s Jack Pinski. 

Next is Glacier at 309. The two-time AA champions have work to do, though the Wolfpack have rallied before. Luke Nelson is along in fourth after a 73 Thursday, and teammate Torren Murray came in at 76.
