By BRET H. MCCORMICK, Journal Sports

Alexandria Senior High and Tioga made it 3-for-3 on Tuesday, claiming the team titles at the Cenla High School Golf League tournament held at Marksville’s Tamahka Trails Golf Club. 

ASH’s top four scorers combined to shoot 16-over-par 160 to finish 18 shots ahead of second-place Menard (178). Pineville (179), St. Mary’s (181) and Avoyelles Charter (193) rounded out the top-five team finishes. 

ASH’s Aiden Crowell shot 1-over 37 to take home the individual medalist award, finishing one shot ahead of Menard’s Jake Vaughn. It was Crowell’s first victory of the season after finishing second and tied for second in the first two tournaments. 

The Trojans placed three of their four top golfers in the top 10 as Jake Hansen finished third
with a 39 and Pierce Perry tied for fourth with a 40. 

Peter Kautz of St. Mary’s, Brayden Timmer of Tioga and Tristen Cole of Leesville also shot 40 to finish in a tie for fourth. The top 10 was rounded out by Pineville’s Aaron Peoples (41), Menard’s Hunter Vaughn (42) and Pierce Regard of Avoyelles Charter (43).

Tioga’s duo of Maci Sanders and Morgan Goudeau finished 1-2 for the third straight tournament, but Sanders picked up medalist honors for the first time with a 48, two shots ahead of Goudeau, who won the first two tournaments. 

Lilly Boyd and Lacy Boyd of St. Mary’s both shot 55 to pace the Lady Tigers to a second-place team finish, while Avoyelles Charter’s Marlee Mayeaux also shot a 55 to tie for third place.  

There are two final tournaments on the schedule next week, a nine-hole competition at Northwestern Hills in Natchitoches on Monday followed by an 18-hole contest at Links on the Bayou in Alexandria to finish the regular season.
