Returning sophomore Kaden Ward shot a 46 at La Costa Resort in La Jolla's outstanding performance of the match, as the Vikings fell to host Torrey Pines in the opening competition of the 2021 season under COVID conditions Thurs., Feb. 25.
"Torrey Pines is potentially the best team in the state," said LJHS coach Aaron Quesnell. "We played boys and girls versus Torrey Pines. It was the first time ever (playing a coed match). It was very unusual."
While Ward carded a 46 to be low man for the visitors, freshman Nathan Wittkow shot a 54, with returning junior Edwin Feinberg a stroke back at 55 for nine holes, and freshman Evan Upham another stroke back at 56. Ciaran Snyder, a third ninth-grader, toured the La Costa course in 60 strokes.
"We didn't do too well (against arguably the best team in the county), but we're young," said Quesnell, who is transitioning to the Athletic Director's position at LJHS after this school year and will no longer coach. (Christie Quinn, the girls coach, will assume the boys golf coaching position as well next year.)
