Melba didn’t have a golf team until last season. Now it’s a state champion
Melba High fielded its first golf team last spring. But the Mustangs are quickly filling the school’s trophy case.
Melba ran away with the boys team trophy at the 3A state tournament Tuesday, finishing 31 strokes ahead of Declo at Payette’s Scotch Pines Golf Course for the first team title in program history. And senior Colter Bodily won a three-way playoff to become the second straight boys individual champ in school history.
Bodily edged Kelton Bodily — his younger brother and last year’s champ — and Potlatch’s Chase Lovell on the second playoff hole. He parred No. 9 while his two opponents bogeyed.
The playoff victory capped a comeback for the elder Bodily, who started the day three strokes behind his brother and Lovell. But an eagle on No. 5 made him 5-under through five holes, and he finished the two-day tournament at 3-over 147 to force a playoff.
Melba coach McKay Bodily credited his son’s decision to put away his driver Tuesday for the rally.
“He might not have hit a driver all day,” McKay Bodily said. “He just played very good golf, very targeted golf.”
Sophomore Kelton Bodily finished in third place thanks to a scorecard playoff, while Jaggar Moore (15th place), Ty Martineau (31st) and Kaden Parkinson (31st) rounded out the first Melba golf championship in school history. The Mustangs finished second last year in their first season with a golf program.
But that crew isn’t done chasing trophies just yet. Colter Bodily (second base), Kelton Bodily (shortstop) and Martineau (catcher) all start for the Mustangs’ baseball team, which enters the 3A state tournament Thursday at The College of Idaho’s Wolfe Field.
Ambrose captured two more trophies for Treasure Valley teams on Tuesday, finishing third in the boys team standings and fourth in the girls team race.
Grace senior Kamryn Mansfield finished atop the girls individual leaderboard. She finished the two-day tournament at 14-over 158, five strokes ahead of Ririe’s Jenna Landon in second place.
KIMBERLY SWEEPS 4A TEAM TROPHIES
The Bulldogs took home both team titles from the 4A state tournament at Eagle Hills Golf Course for the third time in five years.
The Kimberly girls edged rival Filer by four shots with a combined two-day score of 124-over for the program’s third title in a row. Meanwhile, the Kimberly boys dominated their field, finishing at 14-over for a 68-stroke victory over Filer.
Filer’s Tanli Lemoyne repeated as the girls individual champ at 4-over 148. And Kimberly’s Korben Kowitz took home the boys medalist honors at 7-under 137.
Weiser’s Sam Kingsbury stood as the top Southwest Idaho finisher on the girls leaderboard in sixth place at 39-over 183. McCall-Donnelly’s Gus Dyson took the distinction for the region’s boys with his 10th-place finish at 14-over 158.
The Weiser girls (third place) and the Fruitland boys (fourth place) were the only team trophy winners from the Treasure Valley.
