Sophomore Carter White of Staples-Motley was crowned the individual champion at the Class AA Boys State Golf Tournament on Wednesday at Ridges at Sand Creek in Jordan.  His 144 (72-72) two-day total was 3 better than a trio of golfers who turned in scores of 147 over the two-day event.  Roseau senior Max Wilson (73-74-147), Peyton Savageau (73-74-147) of Totino-Grace and Karson Patten (74-73-147) of Cloquet were the three golfers sharing runner-up honors.

Charlie Hanson of Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta finished 14th with a 151 (75-76), Jack Justesen of Hawley came in tied for 24th with a 155 (78-77) and Mitchell Dewey of West Central Area tied for 33rd with a 158 (79-79).

Knights coach Kraig Hunter said, "First off we are very proud of Mitch representing WCA. He is a true competitor. Mitch played the course well and hit many good shots.  He did not have the best two days of putting. He gave himself a lot of good looks, but with some of the pin placements, it was hard to be aggressive and there were a few 3-putts which is normally a strength of his. Being the competitor he is, of course he feels he could have gotten more out of his score had he gotten a few more putts to drop."

"But for those that have played golf, that can be the nature of this game sometimes. I think when you step back and look at the big picture, Mitch tied or beat some of the golfers that finished high in the state tournament last year.  When you look at his overall season, he was outstanding all season and another state tournament experience will only help him going into his senior season next year.  Like I said, we are extremely proud of him."

Fergus Falls junior Riley McGovern shot a 172 (85-87), tying for 69th, and senior Brady Petznick of Pelican Rapids tied for 83rd with a 179 (91-88).

Here are the team results:
1. Totino-Grace 598 (299-299), 2. Holy Family Catholic 602 (295-307), 3. Cloquet 618 (310-308), 4. Roseau 624 (318-306), 5. Blake School 627 (315-312), 6. Pine Island/Zumbrota-Mazeppa 639 (319-320), 7. New London-Spicer 645 (320-325), 8. Albany 655 (329-326)
