The Blue Devils are headed to the

MHSAA Lower Peninsula Division

2 Girls Golf Finals for the fifth

consecutive season this weekend.

For the first time ever they’ve

already got a mitten shaped trophy as

they make the trip.

Gull Lake won its first ever girls

golf regional championship Tuesday,

Oct. 8, at Bedford Valley Golf

Club. Junior Charlotte Boudeman

shot her way to a regional runner-up

finish individually as the Blue

Devils beat out the runner-up team

from St. Joseph 345-358. Plainwell

was third in the day’s standings with

a score of 372.

The top three teams and top three

individuals not on those teams at

regionals across the state last week

earned spots in the Oct. 18-19

MHSAA L.P. Girls Golf Finals. The

Blue Devils head to the D2 competi-

tion

at The Meadows on the campus

of Grand Valley State University in

Allendale Friday.

Boudeman was in contention for an

individual regional championship all

day too at Bedford Valley, but

ultimately finished one stroke

behind Mattawan senior Charlotte

Stenger’s 77. Thornapple Kellogg

senior

Ailana Leos was third with an 80,

Plainwell sophomore Ayla Jaeger

fourth with an 82 and St. Joseph had

senior Rachel Cox and sophomore

Marley Walters tie Gull Lake sopho-

more Allison Vanhuysen for fifth

with 85s.

Gull Lake also had senior Ella

Schaberg ninth with an 89 and senior

Aubrey Crowley 11th with a 93.

The Gull Lake varsity girls’ golf team celebrates its program’s first ever regional

championship after winning the 18-hole event at Bedford Valley Golf Club

Tuesday, Oct. 8. Team members include coach Jason Coats, Emma Walters,

Allison Vanhuysen, Charlotte Boudeman, Ella Schaberg, Aubrey Crowley and

coach T.R. Walters. The Blue Devils will be back in action this

weekend, Oct. 18-19, at the MHSAA Lower Peninsula Division 2 Girls Golf

Finals at the Meadows on the campus of Grand Valley State University in

Allendale. (Shopper News photo by Brett Bremer)

Blue Devils win their first regional golf title

Stenger, Leos and Stevensville

Lakeshore’s Ella Roberts were the

three individual state qualifiers from

the

regional. Roberts shot a 91. Leos

was right there with Boudeman and

Stenger shooting for an individual

regional title throughout the day.

Stenger shot an even-par-36 on the

back nine (starting her day on 15 and

closing on 14), including an eagle

on the par-4, 330-yard, number 11.

Boudeman shot her lone birdie of the

round there on 11.

Boudeman had a 38 on the back

nine. She was just three over through

her first 15 holes. She started on one

and closed the front nine

with five consecutive pars,

and then started the back

nine par, birdie, par, par,

par,

par before a hiccup on

16 ultimately made keep-

ing up with Stenger tough.

Stevensville Lakeshore

was fourth in the day’s

team standings with a 393

ahead of Mattawan 408,

Thornapple Kellogg 416,

Zeeland East 428, Portage Northern

439, Allendale 442, Zeeland West

450, Niles

486, Wayland 494 and Holland

NTS.

Emma Walters, a sophomore, was

the Blue Devils No. 5 on the day.

She shot a 106.

There won’t be many teams at

The Meadows with more state finals

experience than the Blue Devils.

Boudeman was seventh individual-

ly at the D2 Finals a year ago as the

Blue Devil team that also included

Schaberg, Crowley and Vanhuysen

placed eighth.

Boudeman, Schaberg and Crowley

all shot with the team that was 12th

at the finals in 2022 and this will be

Schaberg&’s fourth appearance at

the finals. She helped the team to a

fifth-place finish as a freshman in

2021.

The Blue Devils were also 11th at

the D2 Finals in 2020.
