Patriots Win At Alvamar; Second at Osawatomie

After their varsity win at Hayden on April 16, the Christ Prep Patriots traveled to two other invitationals at which they came away with trophies for first and second place.
CPA competed in the Veritas Invitational on April 18 at Alvamar Golf Club in Lawrence. CPA won that event despite being without top golfer Joey Johnson. The Patriots combined for a team total 337 to take top team honors. Individually, CPA took home several medals. Logan Routh's 82 was good enough for second place while Timothy Finley's 83 landed him in 5th. Garrett Routh's 85 slotted him in 6th Place and Nolan Becerra carded an 87 which landed him in 9th Place.

After their win in Lawrence, the Patriots traveled on April 21 to compete against a strong field in the Osawatomie Invitational at Osawatomie G.C. in Osawatomie, Kan. CPA, without golfer no. 3 Nolan Becerra, shot a combined 322 which put them solidly in second place. Unfortunately for the Patriots, Piper High School brought their A-game to Osaawatomie. Piper shot 306 which put them well ahead of the Patriots and won them the first place trophy. CPA's finish was well ahead of the 13 other teams in the field.

The Patriots had three top ten finishers at Osawatomie. Joey Johnson fired a 5-over 76 to claim 4th Place. Timothy Finley and Logan Routh each carded 10-over 81s which put them in a 10th Place tie. Timothy received the medal after a scorecard playoff.

In both the Veritas and Osawatomie tournaments, No. 5 golfer Garrett Routh stepped up and provided strong showings and gave the Patriots a solid score to enable the team to perform as it did.

This Thursday the Patriots host their own "Christ Prep Invitational" to be held at Ironhorse Golf Club in Leawood, Kansas. Play begins at 10:00 a.m. with a shotgun start.
