Palmetto High School Golf Championship

La Quinta High School won the 2010 Palmetto High School Golf Championship in sudden death, and, not surprisingly, the California school was well represented on the all-tournament team. La Quinta’s Alfred Castro, who shot a three-day total of 215, was the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player.

Castro fired a 69 during the qualifying round and was one-stroke short of capturing medalist honors.

Joining Castro on the all-tournament team were his Blackhawks teammate Tad Murray (219), Forestview’s Taylor Dickson (220), who captured medalist honors, Wesleyan Christian’s Davis Womble (220), Ryan Cornelius  (221) of Orange Lutheran and Pinewood Prep’s Austin Cody (219).

The Palmetto also featured an outstanding crop of young golfers, led by Pinewood Prep’s Richard Hubbard (223), who paced the all-freshman team. Joining Hubbard were Josh Whalen (231) of Napanee District Secondary School, Forestview’s Will Long (232), South Pointe’s Briar Herd (241) and Providence Day School’s Davis Bateman (243).
