The Beatrice boys golf team kicked off their season on a chilly afternoon at Beatrice Country Club.
The Orangemen hosted Fairbury Tuesday afternoon and were able to defeat the Jeffs. Beatrice finished with a team score of 186, which was 11 strokes better than Fairbury's 197.
Beatrice was led by Trey Baehr, who finished with a score of 38. Sam Wallman was the second best finisher with a score of 42.
"It was nice to get the season underway and our two returning varsity players had good scores," sad Beatrice Coach Dick Stuart. "I know both of them feel like they left a shot or two out there, but it was still a good day."
David Maurstad was Beatrice's third best player with a score of 51. Carter Murphy and Cole Paben rounded out the scoring for Beatrice with a 55 and 61 respectively.

"David, playing in his first varsity meet, played well," Stuart said. "Carter and Cole had a few big numbers and they will need to work hard to eliminate these as the year goes on."

Ben Starr shot a 51 for the Jeffs while Aidan Swanson and Connor Gerths both shot a 52.
