BOYS PREP GOLF
Hoquiam 198, Rochester 205
Playing outside of the Harbor for the first time this season, Hoquiam earned a 198-205 win over Rochester on Thursday at the Riverside Golf Club in Chehalis.
Hoquiam was led by Danton Cole, who shot a 43 over nine holes to earn Medalist of the Match honors.
It was the fifth time in six matches the Grizzlies had a different golfer shoot a team low for the round.
“Danton Cole was the next man up and he played confident golf to shoot the low round of the day,” Hoquiam head coach Chase Taylor said. “This course was our first chance to play outside of the Harbor and it was a completely different challenge. Riverside has been known to have fast greens and they were compared to what we are accustomed to. I thought we putted pretty well considering our limited experience with these speeds, but it did balloon our scores somewhat.”
Aden Hartt shot a 49 while Lucas Montoure, Noah Taylor and Daymond Cole each shot a 53 to make the Hoquiam scoreboard (top four scores count).
The Grizzlies host Montesano at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Highland Golf Course.
Hoquiam (198): Dan. Cole 43, Hartt 49, Lucas Montoure/Daymond Cole/Noah Taylor 53.
Rochester (205): Boden Grimm 49, Clayton Knutson 50, Wesley Dahl 52, Darin Ware 54.
