This season, Rich coach Kam Jarman said his players have practiced in every difficult condition imaginable — rain, snow, hail and wind.
Each of those practices strengthened the resolve of his players, something Jarman said made a big difference during the 1A state tournament this week.
Sitting in second place after Tuesday’s first round, Rich improved by four strokes in the second round on Wednesday as it slowly pulled away to capture its first 1A state championship since 2014.
The Rebels finished with a two-day total of 706, with Wayne in second with a 720 and Valley in third with a 725.
“The weather has just been poor up in Bear Lake. The kids have just battled the weather. I’m just proud of them ‘cause they’ve worked so dang hard,” said Jarman.
Rich had two players finish in the top 10, which was obviously important. Just as important, however, was how Rich’s No. 4 and No. 5 golfers alternated good rounds and poor rounds, which meant the Rebels never had to count a score over 100.
“It’s just the whole team working together. I’m just so happy for them and their hard work,” said Jarman.
Rich’s Noah Parry finished second with a two-day 165, while teammate Jaden Desch tied for seventh with a 172.
