Farmington, MO - The Dexter High School golf team won the MSHSAA Class 3, District 1 title on Monday at St. Francois Country Club in Farmington, Missouri. The Bearcats haven't seen a trip to the State meet as a team since finishing 3rd in 2010. They did win Districts in 2019, but did not make it out of Sectionals.
Dylan Sitze earned medalist honors to lead the team at 7-over-par 79.
Cy Worley tied for second at 86 with Ryan Bozada of St. Clair and Gavin Huck of Ste. Genevieve and also medaled.
Tucker Temples placed ninth with a score of 91 while Ben Christian placed 15th with a score of 95.
"We struggled around the greens somewhat today overall," Dexter head coach Eric Sitze said. "The wind and wet conditions made the golf course harder today for sure, but we are glad to be moving on to State next week in Sedalia."
Coach Sitze estimated to be at least 30 mph gusts and the field playing a narrow 6,569-yard course, Dylan Sitze was the only player to break 86, winning by seven shots.
Dexter’s team score of 351 was 24 shots better than runner-up Ste. Genevieve.
"Tucker had his best round of the year for us finishing 9th overall." commented Sitze. "Anytime you have two guys finish 1 and 2 that is going to help your team score. Not our best score, but the kids did a good job hanging in there and grinding it out."
There are sixteen teams in the Class 3 District 1 competition. Ste. Genevieve finished second with a score of 375, St. James followed at 379. Other teams participating were Fredericktown, Sullivan, Park Hills, Potosi, St. Clair, Perryville, St. Mary's Arcadia Valley, Salem, Doniphan, Affton, Herculaneum and Kennett.
“Hopefully we can get some things straightened out and play better next week.”
The Bearcats will play at Sedalia Country Club in the two-day, 36-hole MSHSAA Class 3 championships starting Monday, May 16, 2022.
