The Alma Men's Golf team hosted the MIAA Jamboree #8 on Saturday at Pine River Country Club, the last event of the 2010 season, and Calvin College came away as league Champion.

The Knights trailed first place Trine University by 19 strokes heading into the day, and not only caught the Thunder, but won the title by two overall strokes. The Scots finished the season in seventh place and tied for that spot today with a score of 319.

So. Charlie Vana (Holly, MI/Holly) was the highest placed golfer on the day for Alma with a score of 75, good for a tie for eighth. Jr. Brian Rabedioux (Auburn, MI/Bay City Western) tied for 23rd with a 79, while Sr. Bobby Fryling (Grand Rapids, MI/Forest Hills Eastern) had a 80, tied for 26th.
