SIDNEY--The start of the annual Sidney Invitational Boys Golf Tournament at Hillside Golf Course on Thursday, April 4, was delayed about an hour as the assembled golfers waited for the temperature to warm up and burn off a layer of frost on the course.

Individually, it was Scottsbluff's Tommy Dredla that came out on top, shooting a 72 for a par score.
