NORFOLK – Six freshmen and two sophomores will join six returning players to make up this year’s golf team at Northeast Community College.

Other sophomores returning this season are Michael Bergquist, Cheyenne, WY; Corby Forbes, Brunswick; Trever Miller,Lexington; and Conner Watson, Omaha. Incoming sophomores include Justin Bruntz, Ft.
