The Dalles won the team
title with a 368, ahead of
La Grande (373). The Gulls
were last among the scoring
teams with a 480. Missing top
golfer Carson Kawasoe, Sea-
side played with three soph-
omores and two freshmen,
three of whom had never
played 18 holes.
Sophomore Carson Bates

ter Perrigo (122) and new-
comers Jesus Arcadia Farfan
(123), Madden Wunderlich
(127) and Alex Arden (129).
“Every journey begins
with a fi rst step, and today
these young guys took that
fi rst step,” said Seaside coach
Jim Poetsch. “It is not a score
we are used to seeing from
Seaside golf, but we are really
young and inexperienced.
They got their fi rst taste of
tournament play today.”
He added, “this group
could be very competitive if
they put in the time to get bet-
ter. We’ve got at least three
years with this group and a
bunch of other young players
back home that should lead to
a pretty good team in a year
or two.”
By the end of the sea-
son, he said, “we will be a
lot better than we were today.
Of course, adding Carson
Kawasoe into the mix will
help a ton.”
