Sophomores Jacob Doss and Calvin Freatman fired 4-over par 40's on the front nine of the Riverbend Golf course to share medalist honors in a Seattle Christian Schools boys golf 171-206 stroke play match win against visiting Vashon on Thursday, May 6.
Using the best four of six scores in ideal course and weather conditions, the Warriors stroked to a 3-2 league won-loss record.
"We're really pretty young," declared Warrior head coach Kerry Doss. "Including JV we've only got one senior. This is a good, young team with some good eighth graders coming up. Our scores have really improved since the season started. We just don't get enough matches."
It was a good day for Freatman on several fronts.
"I'm pretty happy," last year's district qualifier expressed. "It's my mom's birthday. Today, I struck the ball well and my iron shots were crisp. A few putts didn't drop while I didn't capitalize on the par 5's. I'm normally strong with those."
Doss, who qualified for both days at state last year, overcame a 4-putt first hole en route to posting his score.
"I recovered to make pars, but more importantly, it was about team because we qualified more players for district," he said. "Calvin has been scoring well, and other people are putting it together. All the guys are working hard. I'm thankful for the time our coaches, Pete Wallingford, David Ray Sartin and Kerry Doss are putting out for us."
Junior Tyler Ronish carded a 43 while freshman Spencer Eble shot 46 as the other top four scores. Junior Zach Miller had a 49 and sophomore Ryan Brubaker had a 53.
With the season running down, Doss, Freatman, and Ronish are already qualified for district at Fort Lewis on May 10. Needing to post another score of 50 or less, Miller, Eble and Tyler Gunhus are on the bubble.
