Community School at Gooding
Community School golfer Spencer Harris shot a 51 to tie for third at a high school nine-hole golf meet Tuesday at the Gooding Country Club.
The Community School didn't qualify as a team for the meet because it sent only two golfers. In addition to Harris, Jeff Gaecke participated and shot a 71.
"Both of these were good rounds for the first time out and for Jeff's first time on the team," said Community School coach Harry Weekes.
Other team members who will compete at later events are juniors Max Harris, Cody Boeger and Christian Dallago and freshman Taylor Riviello.
Wendell High School took top honors at the event with a team score of 190. Glenns Ferry was second at 217, followed by Valley with 237 and Oakley with 243.
Low shooter for the boys was Wendell's Math Luth with a 39. Second was Logan Briggs, also from Wendell, with 44. Spencer Harris tied at third with Daniel Burns, Valley, and Taylor Owen from Glenns Ferry.
