Pella Christian was over at Coldwater Golf Links for the 2A tournament and were sitting in sixth after day one.

Eliot Menninga and Cooper Spronk both shot 76 on day two to lead the Eagles while Isaiah Breems (83) and Dane Geetings (85) rounded out the lineup.

"While the Eagles hoped to do a little better at state overall, they have made huge strides with the golf program in the past few years and greatly enjoyed the opportunity to play at state for the first time since 2001," Pella Christian head coach Kent Breems said. "The season is certainly considered a success and the Eagles can look forward to the fact that all six varsity players will be returning next year."
