Please see Sports briefs, B-6 With a 109-stroke lead, Park City team has all but won Region 11 BEN RAMSEY The Park Record Two thousand and twenty-eight. That’s Park City High School’s boys golf team’s current score for the season. It might sound high, but the team is leading the region by more than 100 strokes with only a home tournament on Sept. 20 left in the Region 11 regular season. To lose the lead now would be nearly impossible, said coach George Murphy. “It would have to be a disastrous effort on everybody’s part — have their worst round ever — and even then it would be tough,” he said. With Region 11 all but finished, the team is now focusing on winning its 11th consecutive Class 4A state championship. The main question is, who’s going to compete on the six-man state team? As of Wednesday’s competition at Birch Creek Golf Course, which is North of Logan, the Miners’ varsity team comprised sophomore Tucker Lee (76), junior Eli Kimche (72), senior Jack Wright (69), junior Ryan Wright (79), junior Parker Cutt (78), sophomore Wyatt Petersen (76), senior Dean Tsandes (79), and senior Griffin Ward (79). Jack Wright is a shoe-in for the six-man state team, with the lowest season-long score in the region: 508. That’s partly because of consistency, but he has had some standout performances, including shooting a 69 at Schneiter’s Riverside Golf in Ogden, as well as at Birch Creek on Wednesday. Kimche is the only one with a lower score for an individual tournament, having shot a 68 at Schneiter’s. After Jack Wright’s season-long COURTESY OF GEORGE MURPHY Park City High School junior Eli Kimche drives during the Miners’ recent tournament at Birch Creek Golf Course on Wednesday, where the Miners extended their lead over Region 11’s second-place Tooele to 109 strokes. score, there are two players that are harder to position — Kimche and Lee. They haven’t competed with the varsity team for the full season, but their average scores are still low. Kimche has missed two of the seven tournaments the team has played so far, and has an overall score of 364, meaning he averages about 73 strokes a tournament and a has a projected score of 510. Tucker Lee, a sophomore, has an almost-identical scenario with his total of 220 for three tournaments, giving an average of 73.3 and a projected total of 513. Ryan Wright has the next season-long low score with a 524, fol- lowed by Parker Cutt with a 526, Wyatt Peterson with a 528, Dean Tsandes with a 533, and Griffin Ward with a 534. Tellingly, Ward has the eighthbest score on the team, and is ranked eighth on the Region 11 individual leaderboard (Lee and Kimche aren’t ranked because of their absences). Only two Tooele players keep the Miners from an unbroken sweep of the leaderboard, with the Buffaloes’ Bridger Holmes in second overall with a score of 512, and Peyton Thevenot in sixth with a score of 532. All that means Murphy will be hard pressed to find a poor choice among the candidates for the state team, a re- ality that has Kimche and the Miners working hard to stand out. “With how competitive it is, it’s necessary to have solid, consistent rounds,” Kimche said. “We really don’t know who’s going to be on the state team, so all of our guys are going to put their everything into this (upcoming) tournament.” The two that don’t end up playing with the varsity team will likely go as individuals, Murphy said, as Jack Hanskat did last year when he took fourth overall alongside Cutt. The state competitions will be held at Birch Creek, which the team is exPlease see Golfers, B-4 THIS WEEKS SPONSOR BEST OF 20 BEST FARMERS MARKETS - Cooking Light FARMERS MARKETS IN AMERICA FOR FOODIE TRAVELER - Trip Advisor WHAT’S HAPPENING September 16th MAIN STAGE sponsored by Delta Airlines 10 - 11 am 11 - 1 pm 1 pm Performer 2 - 5 pm Nuzzles & Co Snuggle Hour Motherlode Canyon Band Belly Dancing by Thia Sin City Soul FARMERS MARKET STAGE (Located on 5th St. next to the Post Office) 10 - 2:30 pm 3 - 5 pm Brother Run Tessa and Caitlin KIDS ACTIVITIES • Park Silly Bounce House • Rock On Climbing Walls • Clo Creations by Chelsea Face Painting • Mechanical Bull • Balloon Artist • Henna For 12 years Park Silly has made sure our patrons have received the Royal Restrooms treatment.
