Broncho linksters drive for district crown

Looking to topple six-time defending district 9 golf champion Cameron University, the Central State University golf team will battle the Aggies, and a field of five other district hopefuls for the area crown at the Greens Country Club in Oklahoma City this afternoon.

The Aggies, District 9 golf champions since 1982, will try to extend their

While the upstart Bronchos, winners of their own 15-team tournament at the Kickingbird Golf Course earlier this month, will be gunning for a repeat of their district championship performance in 1981. "We've got a chance to win the district championship, but Cameron has to be the favorite. I don't think they're quite as strong as they were in the last four years, but they still have some quality players," said Broncho coach John

Under Wagnon's leadership, CSU has earned a district title, a pair of runner-up honors, and a third-place finish at the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics' national championship. Last year the Bronchos pulled up in third place behind Cameron and Southeastern who nudged the CSU squad by one stroke.

Sporting a dozen sophomores and freshman on his 13-man roster, Wagnon's outfit appears young and inexperienced, and a longshot pick for district champion this year. But Wagnon, District 9 Coach of the Year in 1979, believes in his youthful squad. Wagnon.

"Our players are young and some of them don't have a lot of experience, but they can all play. We're looking forward to giving Cameron a run for their money," said Wagnon.

The 54-hole district tourney opened yesterday morning with a 36-hole round. The deciding 18 holes are scheduled for this afternoon.

The Broncho unit was slated to tee-off with Cameron, East Central and Oklahoma Baptist University yesterday

at 8:30 a.m.

Curtis Wangrud and John Shelley lead the CSU contingent. Wagnon, a sophomore from Oklahoma City, anchors the Bronchos top spot.

The three-year high school All-American from McGuinness captured first-place honors at the CSU/Kickingbird tourney, and earned a runner-up finish at the USTADominion Classic earlier this season.

Shelley, a sophomore from South Pasadena, Calif, has pushed Wangrud all season. The Pasadena City College transfer is less than a stroke behind Wangrud's 76.1 average. He managed a second-place finish at the Oklahoma Intercollegiate tourney
