Jacob Schmidt and Landon Biermann negotiated the rolling hills of Shiloh Springs Golf Club well enough to contend for a title when Excelsior Springs played there last week in varsity competition. Paired for the Platte County Invitational Scramble, Schmidt and Biermann shot a 65 (-7) for the 18-hole, par-72 competition to place third in the April 1 tournament. They finished three strokes behind Rockhurst’s winning tandem and Smithville’s runner-up duo. On April 2, the Tigers hosted Kearney. The Bulldogs shot a 180 and Excelsior Springs shot a 190.
