Golf Goes to State

By Marco Starr ‘14

Three golfers from RCHS competed for the state A title last week. Senior Colton Sierra and sophomores Robert Pourier Jr. and NuVaussie Blacksmith were the golfers who qualified for the state golf meet. The state A golf meet took place in Hartford, SD on October 7-8, 2013.

With six years of experience, Sierra qualified for his last year of high school golf. Sierra has been golfing since his sixth grade year. “I enjoy going out early in the mornings with confidence knowing that I’m going to play good,” stated Sierra. “I enjoyed state. Everything was viewed with a new vision because it’s my last state. I finished in the top 30 place-wise, and top 40 people-wise because of how many ties there were. It was a great last experience.”

Sierra placed and tied for 37th overall. Pourier placed and tied for 60th, while Blacksmith placed and tied for 85th. Sierra shot a 179 in the state A golf meet. Pourier shot a 189 and  Blacksmith shot a 202.
