Led by junior Jaskaran Sihota’s par, Deer Valley High’s boys varsity golf team kept its unblemished record intact on Tuesday, beating Liberty 198-240 at the par-36 Golf Club at Roddy Ranch.

Wolverines head coach Brian Kofford said that his goal for each match is to keep the score below 200, something Deer Valley achieved again. He was pleased with Sihota’s effort, as well as that of seniors Andrew Sirowy and John Bell, who each carded a 38.

“We’re maintaining our goal of always breaking 200 and then we’re looking forward to continuing our winning ways,” Kofford said. “Our goal is to peak at the end of the year so we can continue to move on.”

The victory boosted Deer Valley’s record to 7-0; 3-0 against Bay Valley Athletic League opponents.

The Lions were led by sophomore Garrett Murayama, who came in fourth with a score of 43. Senior Paul Krey finished one stroke behind Murayama. Last week, Krey shot an impressive 35 on the par-37 Lone Tree Golf Course in a win over Antioch.

Heritage 207, Pittsburg 250

Deer Valley isn’t the only undefeated team in league play. Heritage’s 207-250 victory Tuesday over Pittsburg raises its record to a 3-0 against BVAL opponents.

Senior Saul Lares had the Pirates’ best score, carding a 47.

Heritage will face Deer Valley on Wednesday, a game postponed from March 31 because of rain.
