The host school won the 10th Annual Everett Invitational boys golf tournament and Oak Harbor placed fifth out of eight teams at the Legion Memorial Golf Course Thursday, March 30.

Everett captured the match with 406 strokes over the par-72, 18-hole course. Oak Harbor finished with 456.

Haven Brown and Nick Krantz guided the Wildcats by carding 82s, good for ninth place. Nick Whitley shot 86, Nate Thompson 101 and Mathew Boyd 105.

Steve Shih of Archbishop Murphy led the field of 43 with a 69.

“Haven and Krantz both played well, they just missed some putts,” coach David Smith said. “I was really impressed with Nate Thompson. This was his first 18-hole match and first year on the team. He played very well since this was his first full varsity match.”

Oak Harbor will return to Everett for the Tom Dolan Memorial Invitational at the Everett Golf and Country Club at 1 p.m. Monday, April 10.
