The Truckee and North Tahoe high golf teams are off to a promising start after quality finishes in the season-opening Icebreaker Tournament at Hawthorne on Friday.

The Wolverines placed first out of 13 schools ranging in size from 1A to 4A.

Truckee, a member of the Northern 3A, posted a tournament-low score of 391 to edge 4A Manogue (402).

“I’m very pleased with how the guys represented themselves with only one week of practice,” said Truckee coach Jeff Froelich, who called the annual Icebreaker event a warm-up tournament.
