DODGE CITY — Chris Holloway’s first year of high school golf has ended at the Class 4A State Golf Tournament.
Holloway, an Iola High School freshman, carded a 93 in the first round of the two-day tournament, three strokes off the score required to make the cut for Day Two.
Holloway’s state debut was in Dodge City’s Mariah Hills Golf Course, considered by many as one of the toughest courses in the state.
Holloway had the third-lowest score among all freshmen at the state tournament.
Wellington’s Deitrek Gill shot a 1-over-par 72 to take the lead at the midpoint, two strokes clear of a quartet of golfers, including Chanute’s Drayton Cleaver.
ELSEWHERE, Yates Center’s Easton Reynolds and Jack King find themselves near the top of the leaderboard in the Class 2A State Tournament in Salina. Reynolds shot a 5-over-par 76, putting him fourth. King sits in a tie for seventh, with a 78.
Both are seniors, and both will advance to today’s final round.
Parker Krob of Plainville leads the pack with a 1-over 71. Caleb Gilliland and Kameron Shaw of Salina’s Sacred Heart are tied for second with each scoring a 75.
Yates Center’s Collin Randall, a junior, and Humboldt’s Brennen Nuessen, a sophomore, missed the cut after scoring 118 and 119, respectively, on the Salina Municipal Golf Course.
