CHS boys win Spokane tourney
SPOKANE - A trio of 75s helped the Coeur d'Alene boys golf team claim first place at the 22-school Inland Empire Tournament at the Spokane Country Club.
Kyle Kaufman, John Duffin and Chase Lincoln tied for second as individuals at the event, behind medalist Drew McCullough of Richland, who shot 71.
But the Vikings avenged an earlier setback to Richland in Monday's team standings, firing a 307 to win by nine strokes.
"That's an impressive win. That's as tough a course as we're going to see all year," CHS coach Brian Duncan said, noting the fast greens in particular.
"I'm real proud of those boys for stepping up and shooting those 75s. All the best teams from the east side of Washington were there," he added.
The Vikings return to action today at the 5A Region 1 tournament at Lewiston Country Club.
