’Cats repeat as region champs

For the second consecutive year, the Custer High School boys golf team is the best golf team in Region 4A.

The Wildcats blew away the field at the tournament, held Monday at Hart Ranch, as they finished with a team score of 373, well ahead of second place-finishing St. Thomas More, which finished with a score of 428.

The Wildcats were led by Austin Eggers, who after finishing as region runner-up a year ago added region champion to his resume, as he finished with an 80 to win the meet.

Three other Wildcats finished in the top 10 at the meet, including Dustyn Fish, who was fourth at 89; Dylan Polzine, who finished eighth at 101; and Gunner Prior who fired at 103, good for ninth place. Ryder Bailey rounded out the individual scores for Custer with his 121.

The Wildcats head to Bluffs Golf Course next Monday and Tuesday for the Class A State Tournament, which will close out the ’Cats’ season.
