After the girls team advanced to the second round of the Section 1AA Golf Tournament in Rochester, the Kasson-Mantorville golf team had a different goal on the second day to see if they could push anyone through to the state tournament.

At the beginning of the season, almost every golfer has the goal written down to make the second day of their section tournament. As the Kasson-Mantorville girls golf team approached last week’s Section 1AA Tournament, they knew that they had a couple of young golfers that could find their way to the second day by themselves, but also wanted to get to there as a team in a loaded section.

There could be a cliche used that says that the action in the Section 1AAA tournament opener between Kasson- Mantorville and Winona was as hot as it could be on May 26. However, such a statement could not have been more true as the KoMets and the Winhawks went to battle in temperatures hovering around the mid-to-high 90s in Winona.

The Kasson-Mantorville softball team has the talent necessary to make a run late into the section tournament. With an offense that can get runs across the plate and a pitching staff that is learning from each and every start, it only takes a 10-day hot stretch to go from a inconsistent team to one playing for a berth in the state tournament.

If there was a word to describe how the 2018 high school baseball season has gone, there’s a good chance that word wouldn’t be consistent. With a schedule that has been compacted into four weeks and teams that have been forced to practice indoors for the first six weeks of the season, there hasn’t been much times for teams to find a groove and start playing at their best.

With the ability to get a meet out of the way, the Kasson- Mantorville girls golf team had the chance to work out some kinks heading into the Triton Invite on April 30. With the jitters of being cooped up inside beginning to dissolve, the KoMets battled through windy conditions to pick up their first team title of the season at the Dodge Country Club.
