Avery LaFountain chips on to the green on hole No. 18 at
Jamestown Country Club during the first round of the ND. Class
B Girls State Tournament.
LaFountain goes Out in style
with all-state performance
By Jason Nordmark
Of The Star
Approaching thefinalhpla ether
high school career, Avery LaFountain
was anything butCalfn’ahdchbllected.
The golf gods caught up to the
Dunseith senior on No. 17 when a
four-putt left her with a triple bogey
and threatened to derail at top 10, all~
state finish in the NI). Class B Girls
State Golf Tournament.
LaFountain stood alone on the
18th tee box, frustrated and sullen,
staring down the fairway. That’s
when her head coach, Kevin Nelson,
walked up to her, put his hand on her
arm and said a few words.
Nelson would not take credit for
what happened next, but that choice
to address his emotional young
player was clearly the correct course
of action. '
LaFountain hit an absolute bomb
of a drive and followed that up with
a near-perfect approach shot to
within 10 feet of a tricky green.
I The putt broke a little to the left
and right into the center of the hole.
The birdie cemented LaFountain’s
place in the top 10 and Dunseith
High School history as an all-state
player.
“I just told her it wasn’t over,”
Nelson said as the players awaited
the awards ceremony. Clearly it was—
n’t, but the back nine at Jamestown
Country Club was a difficult one for
LaFountain on day two.
The Dunseith right—hander started
out in reverse, taking two double—bo-
geys followed by another bogey. She
stopped the free-fall, however, play-
ing the final six holes of the front
nine l-under. The birdie came on the
course’s most difficult hole, the par 6
sixth. '
After that streak, troubled reared
its head again. On. day one and the
practice round, LaFountain birdied
hole No. 10 both times.
During the final round, she carded
another double-bogey when led to six
dropped shots in first four holes on
the back nine.
With the pressure mounting,
LaFountain righted the} ship with
three straight pars before hole No. 17
frazzled the nerves of each player in
the tournament’s second-to—last pair-
mg.
LaFountain’s drive was another
monster but itwas off track into the"
