Clinton — Lakeside Lutheran Battles Through the Heat at Clinton Cougar Invite

The Clinton Cougar Invite served up plenty of drama on the tees, and Lakeside Lutheran found itself squarely in the middle of the action. In a field of ten teams, Lakeside finished sixth with a team total of 427, showing flashes of promise and a few rough patches that kept the scorecard interesting.

How the leaderboard shook out

The meet belonged to Edgerton, who ran away from the field with a dominant team score of 341, winning by a full 50 strokes. Freshman Kenna Cooper grabbed medalist honors with a tidy 78, setting the tone for an impressive team performance. Behind Edgerton, Turner finished second at 391, followed by Clinton at 410, and Elkhorn at 415. Evansville came in fifth with 424, edging out Lakeside. Rounding out the standings were East Troy (436), Cambridge (440), Jefferson (443), and Delavan-Darien, which struggled to a 588.

Lakeside Lutheran: Standouts and short-game snapshots

Lakeside leaned heavily on sophomore Bella Roman, who paced the team with an individual score of 94 and claimed eighth place overall. Senior contributors included Jeru Canales (105) and Nicole Powers (109), while Mya Duddeck closed out the scoring with a 119. The front nine proved tricky for Lakeside; the squad posted considerably higher numbers on the front half than the back, an imbalance the coaching staff flagged as an area to tighten up. Despite that, the team’s ball-striking showed real growth — improvements were called out for Jeru, Mya, Nikki, and Marley Hill, with Bella singled out for dependable play all day.

Cambridge and Jefferson: Building blocks and bright spots

Cambridge finished eighth with a team total of 440. Senior Marissa Schneider led the way with a 98, followed by sophomore Annilee Legge at 106, sophomore Sophia Nelson at 114, and senior Josie Punsel at 122. The results point to a mix of steady performance and room for growth, especially from the underclassmen who are gaining valuable 18-hole experience.

Jefferson landed just behind Cambridge in ninth place with a team score of 443. Freshman Miranda Bilau emerged as the top scorer for the squad with a 105. Senior Alyce Schultz added a steady 108, sophomore Amelia Roehl notched a promising 109 — notable because she only recently took up the game — and senior Zofia Raduege posted a 121. The coaching staff highlighted steady play from Alyce and called Amelia’s showing especially encouraging for someone new to competition at this level.

What stood out at the meet

• Edgerton showed depth and composure, led by a crisp round from freshman Kenna Cooper.
• Several teams battled the front nine more than the back nine — a common theme and a clear target for improvement.
• Underclassmen across the leaderboard made their presence felt, signaling strong development across programs.

All three teams — Lakeside Lutheran, Cambridge, and Jefferson — will take what they learned to the RVC mini meet at Delbrook Golf Club in Delavan on Tuesday. Expect lineup tweaks, sharper focus on front-nine strategies, and more 18-hole seasoning for the players who began to find their stride this week.

Key takeaways for golf fans

The Clinton Cougar Invite offered a mix of experience and raw talent. Edgerton’s margin of victory underscored who’s peaked early, but the middle of the pack was tight — and that’s where weekly improvements will matter most. Keep an eye on Lakeside’s Bella Roman and Jefferson’s Miranda Bilau; both carried their teams in important ways and could be names you see more of as the season unfolds.
