Woods Cross

Woods Cross won its third straight Region 5 tournament, this time at Sun Hills Sept. 16 with a team score of 285. The Wildcats were led by Sam Bennett’s four-under-par 67 which earned him medalist honors. Brooks Bybee shot a 72 to take eighth with Lance Henriksen, Jackson Bodily and Josh Allen recording 73s, tying for ninth, and Clayton Schmitt’s 74, Dylan Markisich’s 75 and Pierce Poulsen rounded out the scores.

At Schneiters Bluff Sept. 17, play was interrupted due to weather but the teams “waited it out and were able to finish,” according to head coach David Simon. Bodily led the team with a 73, placing fifth, while Bybee and Schmitt tied for sixth with a 74 and Markisich tied for ninth with a 75. Other scores for Woods Cross were Bennett, Henriksen and Josh Allen (76) and Landon Day (80).

“Considering the conditions, I thought we played really well,” Simon said. “We had sun, rain, wind and hail but somehow figured out how to post a pretty good score. We were really proud of the boys for being able to go back out to the course after the weather delay and finish the way they finished.”

The Wildcats are currently first in the Region 5 standings with Markisich first individually and Schmitt 10th.

“We were only +5 total out of our top four scores,” said head coach Josh Roberts.

Freshman Collin Payne had a 72 – on his 15th birthday – while Jacob Merrill and Grey Traveller both had rounds of 75s.

“Jackson Gross shot a 76 but dealt with some early adversity and fought hard to get us another score if we needed it,” Roberts said.
