Cedar’s top four golfers all finished among the top six individual scores as the Reds won their fourth straight season match. They were led by RaeLee Johnson’s 75, which put her at second place overall. Cedar teammates Taylyn Wilson (84), Denym Bohn (85) and Breelle Evans (86) finished in the fourth through sixth spots.
Cedar’s team total of 330 was 68 strokes better than the runners-up, as Pine View and Crimson Cliffs tied for second (368).
“We had an outstanding showing at our home course today,” Cedar head coach Laycee Johnson said afterward. “We appreciate Cedar Ridge for hosting our tournament and supporting our team. It’s so exciting to see our girls improve each week.”
It marked the final home match for Cedar’s two seniors Rachel Blodgett and RaeLee Johnson.
“Rachel and RaeLee have really put in the work for the past four years and have been great leaders for our team this year,” said coach Johnson, who is RaeLee’s mother. “Our team motto this year is to be elite; they are definitely living up to our motto.”
Crimson Cliffs sophomore Kate Walker posted the top individual score of the day, finishing with a 73.
Next week’s region match, the final one of the regular season, will be at Sand Hollow Resort in Hurricane on Tuesday, April 30.
