Showcasing impressive swings that were honed during countless hours of practice throughout the summer and the fall, members of the Montezuma-Cortez High School golf team combined to help their team win the Class 3A Region 4 Golf Tournament at Aspen Golf Club on Sept. 25.<\/p>\n
Leading the way for the Panthers in the 15-team tournament was senior Blake Keetch, who played his best golf of season when it mattered most and finished first overall with a 2-over-par round of 73. Keetch finished with a birdie on No. 18 to finish with a one-shot victory.<\/p>\n
Just behind Keetch was freshman Thayer Plewe, who showed no signs of nervousness during the most important tournament of his short high school career and finished second overall with a score of 3-over 74.<\/p>\n
Rounding out the Panthers\u2019 varsity scorers were Dolores High School junior JJ Brunner, who continued his season-long trend of consistent improvement, finishing tied for 11th place with a score of 89.<\/p>\n
Junior Cason Allmon also suited up for M-CHS and played well, finishing 49th in the individual standings with a score of 118.<\/p>\n
Thanks to their players\u2019 impressive performances, M-CHS finished first in the team standings with a combined score of 23-over-par. Aspen High School, which had won a regional championship each of the past 10 years, finished second overall with a score of 25-over-par.<\/p>\n
Basalt High School rounded out the top three with a score of 44-over-par. Fifteen teams competed in the tournament.<\/p>\n
Thanks to its top finish at regionals, the entire M-CHS golf team qualified for the Class 3A State Tournament, which will be held at the U.S. Air Force Academy\u2019s Eisenhower Golf Course in Colorado Springs Oct. 7 and 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
