Woods Cross

Woods Cross won a fifth consecutive Region 5 tournament at Crane Field Sept. 24. The Wildcats were led by Sam Bennett with a seven-under-par 65, one shot ahead of Bonneville’s Josh Wallis.

“I was really nervous about this tournament because we struggled at it last year,” said head coach David Simon. “The depth of our team really came out in this tournament. The entire region also played really well.”

Clayton Schmitt tied for fourth with a 68 while Landon Day was also top-12 with a 70, tying for ninth place. Other scores for Woods Cross were Josh Allen 71, Lance Henriksen 72, Dylan Markisich and Brooks Bybee 73 and Jackson Bodily 75.

The other region teams also took notice of the play of Woods Cross at Crane Field. “Their scores were really low. They were amazing,” said Viewmont High assistant coach Blake Barnes.

Currently, Markisich is third individually in Region 5 with Schmitt seventh and Bennett tied for 10th.

“It went well with really low scores for the whole field,” said assistant coach Blake Barnes. “We are hoping to take some of the positives into region next week.”

Also competing for Viewmont were Brigham Shupe and Chase Dalton, who had rounds of 81, Joe Gladwell with an 83 and Mike Archibald with an 88.

Davis

Davis placed third at Bountiful Ridge Sept. 23 with a team score of 295. The Darts were led by Max Landon who shot a 71, tying for fourth individually.

“Bountiful Ridge was in amazing shape and the greens seemed to be the Bountiful Ridge of oil. Once again, our top four players really played solid and got us four scores to keep us in contention,” said head coach Josh Roberts. “Max was +3 after the first nine and fought hard to claw his way back into the round.”

Jack Christiansen had a round of 73 with “another impressive showing,” according to Roberts, while Jacob Merrill “continues his solid play” with a 75. Jackson Gross shot a 76 to complete Davis’ top four scores.
