Evansville — Lakeside Lutheran Grabs Sixth at Rock Valley Mini Meet; Bella Roman Shines
It was a lively afternoon at Evansville Golf Club where Lakeside Lutheran scrambled and swung its way to a sixth-place finish in the final Rock Valley mini meet of the season on Tuesday, Sept. 16. The team posted a collective score of 219, a result that mixed flashes of steady golf with the kind of hiccups that make coaches and fans eager for the next test.
Top performer: Bella Roman turns in a clean, sharp round
The story of the day for Lakeside was the work of sophomore Bella Roman, who fired a tidy 45 and walked away with a fourth-place individual finish. Her scorebook showed consistent ball-striking and smart course management, and it was noted by the coaching staff as likely the most steady round she’s produced all season — a tidy combination of tee-to-green accuracy and calm decision-making around the greens.
Team depth: progress with room to grow
Lakeside’s supporting scores reflected a team that’s moving in the right direction but still ironing out the kinks. Junior Marley Hill carded a 56, senior Annaliese Bergum shot 58, and senior Mya Duddeck finished with a 60. Those numbers show a baseline of competence and potential; coach notes emphasized that while scorelines fluctuated, overall improvement is visible and the plan is to sharpen that consistency heading into conference play.
How the field fared — full team leaderboard
The meet produced some strong team efforts across the board. Edgerton led the way with a powerful 173, followed by Evansville at 199. East Troy and Jefferson were close behind with 200 and 205 respectively, and Turner posted a solid 207. Lakeside Lutheran sat in sixth at 219, followed by Clinton at 225, Cambridge at 227, and Delavan-Darien at 279. These totals set the competitive tone for the next stop on the schedule.
Cambridge highlights and freshmen making waves
Cambridge finished eighth with a team score of 227. Their scoring card was powered by a mix of underclass talent: sophomore Sophia Nelson shot 53, sophomore Annilee Legge and freshman Maddison Portner both posted 57, and freshman Laura Granquist added a 60. That depth suggests Cambridge has some young players ready to step up as the season progresses.
Eyes on the prize: RVC Tournament next
Attention now turns quickly to the RVC Tournament, scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 24 at Janesville Riverside Golf Course. Teams will use the next week to sharpen short games, sharpen line reads, and practice course management. For Lakeside the focus will be turning the flashes of consistency into a string of steady rounds that can hold up under tournament pressure.
What golf fans should watch
- Bella Roman — Can she maintain the form she showed in Evansville and challenge the medalist spot at Janesville?
- Team consistency — Lakeside’s middle scores are promising; tightening up a couple of holes per round could move them up the leaderboard.
- Young talent — Cambridge’s underclassmen and other freshmen across the conference may be the wildcards who shake up final standings.
The tone at Lakeside is realistic and energizing: there’s pride in what was delivered on Tuesday, and a clear plan to translate that into stronger finishes at the conference meet. Golfers, coaches, and fans will be watching practice tee times and short-game drills closely as Sept. 24 approaches.
