While only one golfer has state tournament experience on the Ellinwood High School boys’ team, most of the players have at least seen the Class 2A tournament in action.“Last year, Jared Oelke qualified for the tourament,” Ellinwood head coach Greg Maxwell said. “We had three or four of the others there to watch.“We wanted them there together to get them hungry for the chance. We tried to create the scenario of watching the team scores come in and get the mind-set that this could be you guys.”It must have worked.The Eagles finished third at a regional tournament to advance to Monday’s state tournament at Seneca-Spring Creek Golf course in Seneca.
