Golfers have a chance to play as well as raise money for Bismarck State College athletic scholarships during the BSC President's Cup Golf Classic Friday, June 20, at Prairie West Golf Course in Mandan.
Teams will play 18 holes in one of two formats and vie for prizes. The event includes a putting contest, free lunch, 19th Hole Social, and the BSC Athletic Hall of Fame induction ceremony. This year, BSC honors two basketball players and one athletic supporter.
Godwin Owinje played the 1993-94 and 1994-95 seasons and helped the Mystics win conference and regional championships and achieve record season wins (23-8 and 24-8). Godwin led the nation in rebounding and holds BSC's rebound record in a game (26). He captured conference and regional MVP honors and was named to the NJCAA All-American Team. Owinje played overseas nearly six years until 2007. He worked for the Milwaukee Bucks and Phoenix Suns until 2010 and now scouts for five NBA teams.
Doug Swenson played two seasons from 1995-97. His national tournament record for the highest individual scoring average stands at 30.5 points a game. Swenson earned First Team All-American and conference/regional MVP honors sophomore year and holds BSC's record of most blocked shots in a season (195) and career (366). Swenson attended Creighton University and was selected for the NCAA Final Four All-Star Game and MVP in 1999. He signed a contract with the Chicago Bulls.
The late LeRoy Nayes was a longtime BSC friend and supporter of Mystic athletics. Nayes graduated from North Dakota Agricultural College (NDSU) in 1946 after distinguishing himself in WWII as a U.S. Air Force navigator-bombardier. He earned a master's degree from University of Minnesota and was employed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture 27 years. His work for the Farmers Home Administration included the national office in Washington, D.C.
Sign-up continues for golfers and hole sponsors. For more information, contact the BSC Foundation at 701-224-5700 or email Amy.Brown.1@bismarckstate.edu.
