High school notebook: Local golf teams finish fall strong

The Kingwood boys golf team went into the Christmas break on a positive note.

The Mustangs were in Division II at the third annual Dick Harmon Memorial after struggling at a regional preview in Waco, but they made the most of it, winning with a 27-hole total of 477 at Redstone Golf Club.

"We did great," Kingwood coach Jeff Bellnap said. "It's kind of like the schedule. You've got to beat who you're playing against and that's who we were playing against. We beat all the teams in that division, and Seven Lakes is a good team, too."

The Spartans were three strokes back. Magnolia was third with a 494.

Cinco Ranch won Division I with a 476, beating second-place Clear Lake, which won a playoff with Clear Springs, by nine strokes.
