At the Cougar Classic on Wednesday, Sep 23, at Kissing Camels, Cougar boys took first place. Luke Travins, 11, and Austin Burgess, 12, tied for second place, only a few strokes behind Chadd Vasquez, a Doherty golfer and friend of the boys. Isaac Petersilie, 12, tied for fifth, and Wes Moran, 12, tied for seventh.

“It was a fun time, but sad knowing our top three are leaving next year,” says Travins.

The boys are looking ahead to state in Fort Collins on Oct 5 and 6, where they hope to have a repeat of last year and take the championship.
