Craig — Steamboat Springs High School traveled to Craig on Thursday for a tournament hosted by Moffat County High School. The Sailors were able to take the tournament with a score of 227.
Tom Taylor, Steamboat Springs assistant coach, said the Sailors were getting good shots in all day.
"I've been able to watch some of the guys today, and they look pretty good," he said. "I usually try to follow the JV team more, but both have been playing really well."
After Wednesday's tournament at Haymaker Golf Course in Steamboat Springs, the team has had two light travel days.
"We've hardly had to drive, which is a nice break," Taylor said. "It's always a nice little road trip here."
The hosting team also performed well Thursday, proving it can dominate at home.
The Bulldogs hosted 22 teams during their lone home tournament of the season, and they finished third, with a season-best score of 232.
Coach Ken Harjes said playing at Yampa Valley Golf Course boosted his team's confidence.
"Of course," he said, "they all came back in and said they could've done better, but they played well all day."
Moffat County was able to perform on its home turf, falling behind only Steamboat Springs and Battle Mountain High School, which came in with a score of 229.
Individually, Moffat County was paced by Mark Dockstader and Parker King, who had scores of 77.
Notes: Klayton Castanzo, of Rifle High School, won the tournament after a one-hole playoff with Montrose High School's Drew Trujillo and Montezuma-Cortez High School's Brian Grubbs : Rifle's Danny Bertels nailed a hole-in-one on hole 16.
