The MacArthur High boy’s golf team finished first at the District 18-5A Golf Tournament, while the girl’s team placed second. The league meet was held April 8-9 at Bear Creek Golf Course.

The teams are under the direction of golf coach Brandon Blake. The Generals will advance to the Region III Tournament at Eagle Pointe Golf Course in Mount Belview. The girl’s tournament will be April 15-16, while the boy’s tournament will be played April 17-18.

In the boy’s division, MacArthur’s Brennan Hockman was the overall individual winner with a two-day average of 89. The Generals also received solid play from freshman Aaron Villueneva, senior David Rodriguez and sophomore Emillio Salinas en route to winning the team title.

In the girl’s division, senior Victoria Herrera placed second individually, while teammates Mayra Yanez placed fourth individually and Isabel Galvan placed fifth individually. Yanez and Galvan are also seniors.

Herrera’s second-place finish also qualified her for the regional tournament.

“I’m so proud of both teams,” Blake said. “They both performed well and they represented MacArthur High School very well.”
