Wildcat golfers suffer first VOL loss against rival Oakdale

The Oakdale Mustangs delivered Sonora its first Valley Oak League golf loss Thursday at Oakdale Golf and Country Club.

The Wildcats were coming off a match Tuesday in which they shot a season-low 197 against Sierra.

“We figured, ‘OK, let’s go get ‘em,’ but then came out flat,” said Sonora head coach Steve Lee. “It’s a hard score (240) but not one indicative of what we can do.”

Friends and family say Alex Marshall would have been “thrilled” with Bret Harte’s baseball home-opener Wednesday, no matter the outcome on the scoreboard.

Bret Harte fell to Argonaut 15-0 in six innings in what was the first game of the Mother Lode League season for both teams, but Marshall’s mother, Sean “Seanie” Plummer, said her fallen Bullfrog would have just been happy to be on the squad.

“I’m just so proud of both teams for getting out there,” Plummer said. “I used to tell my son it’s not about losing or winning a game, it’s about participating in the game.”

The Sonora Wildcat golfers made their head coach Steve Lee pay for a proposition he made to them at the beginning of the year.

The Sonora Wildcat golfers stayed perfect in the Valley Oak League (5-0) on Tuesday, shooting a season-low 197 to drub the Sierra Timberwolves by 44 strokes (241) at Mountain Springs Golf Club.

By shooting under 200 as a team, Lee will treat his Wildcats to pizza. 

“They’ve been trying to get into my pocketbook for awhile,” said Lee. “I’ve told my teams for years if they shoot under 200 on a par 36, I’ll buy pizza. It’s a coach’s dream to have a team score under 200. It happened once last year, but a 197 is a really special score. We haven’t had that kind of score in a few years. What a great team effort.”

Michael Campbell, a 2012 Sonora High graduate, not only battled a field of more than 100 hopefuls to earn a spot on the Gauchos’ 40-man novice rowing team, he was also recently elected a team captain by his peers and led his boat of eight rowers to a first-place finish over UCLA in their second race of the season March 9.

“He’s been a pleasure to have on the team,” said UCSB Novice Mens’ Rowing head coach Scott Wike. “Mike really stood out from his peers and they respected him, which is why he was elected a team captain.”
