GROTON – It was a big day for Aberdeen Roncalli at the Northeast Conference Golf Tournament on Tuesday.
The Cavaliers won the team championship by 33 strokes, and Lucas Daggett earned medalist honors in a one-hole playoff win oer teammate Harper Schnabel after both fired rounds of 72.
“It was a good day of golf for the Roncalli boys,” said Roncalli coach Chazz Vigil. “It was a lot of fun watching Lucas and Harper compete for the individual win.”

Groton’s Jace Johnson was third with a 73, and Luke Nielsen of Sisseton was fourth with an 80.
