KING CITY — For the first time since 1980, the King City High School boys’ golf team has won a team championship.
The Mustangs won the Cypress Division title on April 29 at the Laguna Seca Golf Course.
Final team results at the championship were: 1. King City, 17 points; 2. (tie) Rancho San Juan and Trinity Christian, 19 points; 4. St. Francis, 37 points; 5. Watsonville, 48 points; 6. Anzar, 49 points; Provisional Program; and Monterey Bay Academy.
Players on the champion Mustang team were: freshman Juan Juarez; junior Jake King; and seniors Max Tugel, Adan Pena, Tanner King, Sean Kelley, Christopher Martinez and Diego Sarabia.
Juarez also earned first team honors, with Tugel, Pena and Jake King receiving second team accolades.
“There were approximately 125 golfers that played at the finals,” said King City head coach Will Hays. “We played well that day. I would like to thank my assistant coach Gerardo Vargas and Mark Pumphery, who volunteers to help the team. I would also like to thank Jeremy Sarina and Trent Salcido for all their support they give us allowing us to use their course everyday after school.”
The golf team concluded the season with an awards banquet tournament May 6 at the King City Golf Course.
