PREP GOLF: Tuinstra, Mire lift Sandpoint girls to Bulldog Invitational title

SANDPOINT — Seniors Alexa Tuinstra and Taylor Mire finished first and second, respectively, after carding 5-over-par 77s and the Sandpoint High girls’ golf team won the Bulldog Invitational held Monday at The Idaho Club. 

Tuinstra and Mire faced off in a playoff where Tuinstra prevailed and took home medalist honors for the fourth time this season. Seniors Demi Driggs and Claire Loutzenhiser shot 86s to give the Lady Bulldogs a total score of 326, 11 strokes ahead of runner-up Coeur d’Alene. 

Senior Raegan Samuels shot a 91 and finished fifth while Grace Loutzenhiser carded a 120 playing as an individual. 

On the boys’ side, junior Micah Young posted an 11-over-par 83 to lead the Sandpoint boys to a sixth-place finish out of seven scoring teams. Junior Logan McGrann shot an 85, junior Logan Roos a 91, and junior Tyler Weisz a 92 to round out the Bulldogs’ top four.  

Sophomore Bode Eacret shot a 98 and finished fifth. Playing as individuals, junior Cooper Zimmerman carded an 86, junior Linkin Haddock an 89, junior Everett Gilman a 93, and Aidan Rork a 102. 

Sandpoint High head coach Mike Deprez said he would like to once again thank the Idaho Club for allowing his squad to host the Bulldog Invitational at their world-class facility. 

Sandpoint returns to action Thursday for an invitational at the Links Golf Club in Post Falls.
