The Homewood High School boys golf team completed its season with a fifth place team finish at the State Tournament at Robert Trent Jones-Shoals “Fighting Joe” course.  This was the first time in school history for the team to qualify for the state tournament. 

Crawford Flach finished fifth individually with scores of 73-76 (149).  Sam Goldasich finished 13th with scores of 75-83 (158).

The team’s postseason began by winning the Sectional Tournament at Timberline. Flach finished second individually with a score of one-under par, 69 (his HHS career best round).  Goldasich shot two-over par, 73 (also an HHS career best round) and finished tied for fourth. Alex Drummond shot six-over par, 77 (HHS career best) to finish tied for seventh.  Sebastian Cannova played as an individual in the tournament, and his score of 80 (HHS career best at the time) qualified him for Sub-State.

At Sub-State, held at TimberCreek Golf Club in Spanish Fort, the team finished third, at one shot ahead of Briarwood, to advance to the state tournament. Flach made par on the 18th hole to secure the third place finish. He and Parker Smith finished tied for eighth individually with scores of 77. Cannova finished his high school golf career with a career best round of 79, although it didn’t advance him to the state tournament.
