It was another good week for the Sumner High boys golf team, though not without its drawbacks: the Spartans broke a season-long winning streak in its three-way Thursday match against Franklin Pierce and Washington High School at Brookdale in Tacoma.
The Spartans lost 67-64 to Franklin Pierce, but defeated Washington High 64-38. Individually, Carson Dunham came out on top of the whole lot as the competition medalist.
Earlier in the week, the team beat Fife 52-32, with Austin Spanier coming away as medalist.
The girls golf team wasn’t so fortunate against Franklin Pierce and Washington, losing 82-30 and 38-30, respectively.
The silver lining is that the team showed drastic improvement in just two days. Their Sept. 20 match against Fife came out 49-10.
“Our girls really showed signs of growth on the golf course this week at Brookdale, even though the scores don’t reflect that yet,” coach Shane Patrick said.
