The Durango High School boys golf team finished in the middle of the pack Wednesday and Thursday in tournaments up north at The Bridges and Cobble Creek.
The Demons finished fourth of out of 10 teams in Monday’s tournament and had a similar fate at Montrose Thursday.
Kobe Szura’s 83 led the Demons, who finished with a team total of 255 on a tricky track at The Bridges that forced some big numbers on Monday. Montrose won with a team score of 215.
Ethan Whidden (85), Caleb Newman (87) Lucas Robbins (88) and Luke Tichi (90) rounded out the Demons’ varsity scores at The Bridges.
Before all groups were in Thursday, the Demons were again in the middle of the pack behind some tough competition up and down the Western Slope.
Newman led DHS with a 79 at Cobble Creek. Robbie Grogan fired 83, Tichi had 86, Robbins and Whidden each shot 87 and Szura posted 89.
Durango will host tournaments next Monday at Hillcrest and Tuesday at Dalton Ranch.
