GALT, CA (MPG) - In an unforgettable display of skill and teamwork, the Liberty Ranch Hawk golf team secured its first league tournament championship in school history last week, marking a significant milestone for the program. The Hawks demonstrated resilience and determination throughout the tournament, especially after a narrow defeat to Bradshaw Christian earlier this month (235-229), but they have remained steadfast in first place in their league.
Leading the charge at the league tournament was Hawk golfer Hunter Rohner, who turned in a remarkable performance with a score of 74, securing victory as the individual champion of the tournament. Rohner’s triumph was complemented by solid contributions from his teammates, with Sean O’Brien following closely with an 89, Trevor Schweitz shooting a 93, Chris Gutierrez at 96, Kobe Aguillen a 102, and Jack Radford wrapping up the team’s score with a 117. Collectively, the Hawks posted a team low of 454, showcasing their depth and unity.
Head coach Mike Turpin, beaming with pride, remarked, “This was a big win today. I am proud of the boys. Hunter won the tournament today with a sensational score. The rest of the boys pulled the slack and it was a great team effort. I am really happy for them.”
The Hawk momentum continued later in the week as they faced off against the Galt Warriors, where Liberty Ranch posted a season-low score of 221, decisively winning the match against Galt’s 259. Rohner once again led the Hawks, carding an impressive 38, followed closely by Chris Gutierrez with a 39. Other contributors included Sean O’Brien at 44, Trevor Schweitz at 46, Kobe Aguillen at 54 and Jack Radford at 61. For the Warriors, Garrett Rose was the standout performer with a score of 44.
“I am happy with our two good wins this week,” said Coach Turpin. “We shot our season low against Galt. I like how the boys are playing right now and gaining momentum.”
The Hawks continued their winning streak as they faced the Union Mine golf team, emerging victorious with a score of 225 to 279. Hunter Rohner continued to lead, scoring 40, while Trevor Schweitz followed closely with 42. Other notable scores came from Chris Gutierrez at 46, Kobe Aguillen at 48, Sean O’Brien at 49 and Caleb Winkler at 62.
With a current league record of 5-1, the Liberty Ranch Boys Golf team has positioned itself as a formidable contender in this year’s league competition.
As they ride the wave of success, the Hawks are hoping to carry this momentum through the remainder of the season, building on their historic league tournament victory.
