The Boerne Champion boys golf team will be making its second
straight trip to the 4A state golf tournament after they won the Region
IV-4A title last week at the Pecan Valley golf course in San Antonio.
Champion
really won it on the first day after they came in leading the field
with a 296, three strokes ahead of Lake Travis. On the second day,
played in a light mist near the end, the Chargers and Cavaliers tied
with 307s.
The three-stroke advantage the Chargers had after the
first day held up as they finished with a 603 and Lake Travis scored a
606. Lake Travis No. 2 came in third with a 620 and shot a 301 on the
first day and a 327 on Day 2.
Champion won the team title despite
not having anybody in the top five, but there were three Chargers in
the top 10.
Zach Reichenau led Champion with a 75 and 71 for a 146, which
earned him sixth place. Cody Bly tied for seventh with a 150 after
shooting a 74 and 76. Scott Tredo turned in a score of 152 with rounds
of 73 and 79, while Kyle Dziedziula shot a 155 after he recorded a 74
and 81. Tabor Brooks didn’t have a score on the first day after he
signed an incorrect scorecard. He shot a 91 on Day 2.
Chargers
coach Bill Toland said it was a great performance by his team at a very
tough course.
“We felt like Pecan Valley, with its length and
difficulty, was the perfect place for us to win a regional tournament,”
Toland said. “Zach’s performance on the second day drove our team into
the championship because our guys knew he was going to post a low score
after turning the front nine at two-under par. That pumped us up enough
to fight through the back nine.
“Nobody really knew which team
had won until all the scores were posted, that’s how close this thing
really was. Kyle's steady play was the difference,” Toland added. “He
came into this event knowing he’d have to play well for us to advance
and he was able to do that. Scott and Cody fired low rounds on the first
day and that got us the lead.”
Reichenau said he was looking
forward to playing at Pecan Valley.
“I always wanted to play well
here because my dad grew up playing Pecan Valley and I heard all the
stories of him shooting 66 and 67, so I’m happy I could play well and
help the team,” he said.
The 4A boys state golf tournament will take place Monday and
Tuesday, May 10-11.
