PINEHURST — In an event that included boys and girls scrambles and best ball competition, St. Maries took home the traveling trophy in Monday’s 18-hole Mullan Invitational at Pinehurst Golf Course.
Tabitha Boller and Gabrielle Harold took first in the girls best ball event, helping the Lumberjacks compile 27 points in the team standings, which were scored similar to a track meet, Mullan golf coach Paul Elston said.
“This is the first year we’ve had the traveling trophy and this format. We’re trying to inject a little fun into high school golf at the 1A and 2A level,” Elston said. “It really seemed to work — we received a lot of positive feedback and everyone made it through all 18 holes despite sideways rain, hail and wind.”
To maximize participation, in some events golfers from different schools were paired on teams, or threesomes were allowed.

The tourney was played under a modified Stableford format, with points awarded for birdies, pars and bogeys (and for the girls, double bogeys).

KELLOGG — Wildcats Trevor Bumgardner and Tanner Mueller combined for 31 strikeouts as Kellogg took booth games in their doubleheader matchup with Priest River.
Behind that pitching the Wildcats walked away with two shutout games.
“Trevor and Tanner received game balls for their great effort, command of pitching and attitude,” coach Ed Chilgren said. “We did make a few baserunning mistakes, but kept our attitude good.”

Kellogg 5–14, Priest River 14–9
KELLOGG — The Wildcats split with the Spartans in their first home game of the season.
“The first game we came out a little flat the first three innings and gave up 11 runs and committed to many errors then the girls settled down and only gave up three runs the rest of the game. I thought we hit the ball well but seemed we couldn’t find the gaps and Priest River made some good defensively plays.”
The second game went better as senior Rylee Riekena struck out eight players and walked only one. Mac Ross hit a 3-run home run as well and the Wildcats picked up the win.
