Bearcats improve by 20 strokes today in 5A state tournament’s final round

Aledo senior Evan Pennington shot a 77 to lead the Aledo Bearcats Tuesday afternoon in the second and final round of the boys’ Class 5A State Golf Tournament at White Wing Golf Club in Georgetown. Although the Bearcats improved by 20 strokes after the second round – which began after a three-hour delay due to heavy rain and lightning – they still did not improve their standing as Aledo finished 12th.

Pennington finished with a 36-hole total of 159 (82-77), with Jacob Trawick (85-78) finishing with a 163. Other Bearcats scores include Winston Meintjes with a 166 (87-79), Ben Huxtable with a 172 (86-86) and Doak Neill with a 182 (93-89). Mission Sharyland senior Jun Min Lee won the tournament by four strokes with a seven-under par 137 (69-68).
