PERRYTON, Texas — The Guymon High School boys golf team finished in the middle of the pack of teams at the Perryton Invitational Saturday.

The meet took place at the Perryton Municipal Golf Course.

Trey Fankhouser produced Guymon’s low round with a 91, including a back-nine 45. Dakota Wilson shot a 93, including a strong 44 on the back nine.

Caleb McMurry posted a 94. As did Trever Lutz, whose score was a season best. Josh Edenborough rounded out the Tiger scores with a 98.

Guymon also brought a ‘B’ team with Landon Hyer carding the lowest score with a 94. Chad Huckins and Andrew McCulloch both fired 98s. McCulloch’s score was a season-best. Ethan Novak scored a 106, rounding out the scores.

Perryton defended its home course, putting together a 326.

All the golfers had to battle 25- to 30-mile-per-hour northwesterly winds and chilly conditions.

“I’m not happy with what we are doing,” Guymon coach Jerry Cooper said. “We have score 10-15 strokes better per person. It’s early in the season, though, and we can do better.”

Spearman’s Tyler Harper was the male meet medalist with a 77.

Girls also in action

Borger, Texas, won the girls’ meet with a score 392, which was 23 strokes better than Wellington, Texas.

Guymon brought only three golfers to the meet.

Jade Cruzan carded a 93, including a front-nine 45. Chelsea Montano posted a 106 and Cytorie Clark scored a 127 to complete the Tiger totals.

“Jade played a really good round for us, a good front-nine for us,” Guymon coach Jerry Hill said. She kept her numbers low and had a solid day.”

Wellington’s Carly Holland was the meet medalist with an 82.

What’s Next

Safe to say, this will be a busy week for Tiger golfers.

Guymon’s boys and girls golfers will play today at Boise City. The boys will follow that with the Woodward Invitational on Tuesday at Boiling Springs.

Wednesday, the girls are at Lake Hefner Golf Course in Oklahoma City to participate in the Putnam City Invitational. Thursday, the girls will play in the Woodward Invitational at Boiling Springs and the boys will be at Liberal, Kan.

Saturday, the girls’ team will travel for a tournament at Laverne and the boys will travel to the Garden City Invitational, which is scheduled to take place at Southwind Country Club.

GHS makes schedule changes

Guymon High School athletic director Dan Turner has announced some changes and/or additions to the schedules of various spring sports.

Girls Soccer

The Guymon girls’ soccer team will play at Woodward tomorrow.

The varsity game will take place at 3:30 p.m. at Boomers Stadium, followed by a junior varsity contest at 5:30 p.m.

Guymon has added this game to its schedule because two district opponents aren’t able to field a girls’ team and that left some open dates.

Baseball

On Tuesday, April 15, the Guymon baseball team will play Woodward in one varsity seven-inning and one varsity five-inning game at Asa Howard Field here in the city.

At the same time, the Tiger junior varsity will play two five-inning games at Woodward.

On Friday, April 18, the situation will be reversed. The Tigers junior varsity will play two five-inning games at Howard Field while the varsity plays two games in Woodward.

This is to make up for, in part, a junior varsity doubleheader that was originally scheduled for Friday, March 14. The games were scrapped at that point on account of bad weather.
