The Jamestown High School boys golf team was right in the thick of things at Souris Valley Golf Course.

The Blue Jays finished sixth out of nine competing WDA teams Friday afternoon in Minot. The Jays shot a team score of 358 -- four strokes behind where the team ended up last week at the East/West Classic at the Jamestown Country Club.

"I was pretty pleased," JHS head golf coach Jason Carroll said of his team's performance. "The wind really challenged us today but we did shoot some pretty good scores considering what the winds were."

The winds weren't the only thing posing a challenge to the Jays' 18-hole round.

"When you are used to putting on a slower surface and you move to a faster surface there's more break and obviously if you are hitting it too firm, it will run past the hole farther," Carroll said. "When you are used to slow greens -- it's easy to run putts by and it might take you a few holes to adjust to that."

Jed Truax adjusted well shooting a 41-39-80 to lead the six Blue Jay golfers.

"It says a lot about him as a golfer that he was able to do that not only in the high winds but also with the pace of the greens being a lot different than what he's used to putting on," Carroll said. "I expect his scores to stay right around that as we move toward the end of the season here."

Shea Carroll wound tied for 16th with a score of 87 while his twin brother Brooks was three strokes behind at 90. Ethan Romsdahl broke 100 by one stroke while Camron Anderson ended with a 108. Kai Backen rounded out the Blue Jay squad with a 117.

The Jays are slated to be back in action at Garden Gate Golf Course in Dunseith tomorrow (Saturday). The invite is slated to begin at 10 a.m.
