“We had a solid game plan after our practice round and were very excited about the potential that we were going to do well,” Platte County coach Trevor Short said. “This didn’t quite work out as planned when we had some hiccups with our swings. We just couldn’t get the ball to land were we wanted it to ... in the fairway.”
