SIKESTON -- Sikeston's golf team won its fourth dual of the season Thursday, toppling Notre Dame at the Bootheel Golf Club 165-175.

Sikeston's Jonathan Spence was the medalist, firing a three-over-par 39. He was followed by Tanner Fritz at 40, E.C. Atchison at 43 and Matt Bain at 43.

Notre Dame's Adam Fenwich paced the Bulldogs with a 41, followed by Tim Buerik at 43, Paul Unterraner at 45 and Adam Rigdon at 46.

"Next week will be a big test for our team," said Oetting. "We will see tough competition at the Bluff Invitational and then we travel to Jackson for a tri-meet with Jackson and Cape on Jackson's home course."

The junior varsity won 177-200. Jason Deere led the Bulldogs with a 43, followed by Ed Pike at 44, Martin Schaefer at 44 and Zach Bell at 48.
