Plenty of sports teams are in the mix in league play for Oakdale this spring, with a full schedule of contests keeping athletes busy. Here is a rundown of some recent games and matches.

BOYS GOLF

VOL #2 was played at Swenson Park Golf Course par 72; Oakdale was first with a score of 402, well ahead of second place Kimball, at 447. They were followed by East Union, Manteca, Sierra, Central Catholic, and Weston Ranch.

The individual leaderboard saw Oakdale with five of the top six individual scores.

The Mustangs were paced by Nolan Harris – 73, first, with Oakdale golfers also taking third through sixth, third Cooper Pitney – 78; fourth Carson Middaugh – 79; fifth Grant Weber – 86; sixth Robert Bordona – 86.

“This was our lowest team score of the year. Even with tough conditions in the wind and occasional rain they played well,” said coach Lee McGhee. “Five of the top six scores from the whole league is very impressive. I am most impressed with our team confidence and composure that they show while playing in a tournament. Definitely leading the VOL with their impressive play.”

The golf boys travel next to Tracy Golf and Country Club for the VOL #3 on April 4.

“I am proud of their hard work and dedication to working on their game. It will be tough to improve on that team score but it will be fun to keep trying.”
