Raider heading to state golf tournament

Darin Whiteman made a point at Columbia Point Golf Club in Richland on Monday, the point being that he’ll be going to state next week at Hangman Valley in Spokane.

In Richland May 14 for the district tournament, Whiteman finished the course in only 91 strokes, finishing 11th overall for the day, and qualifying for state.

“A great deal of mental toughness and resilience is required to score well in these high stakes tournaments, but that is just the type of competitive environment Darin needs to take his game to the next level,” said Head Coach Steve Files. “Qualifying for state in both his sophomore and junior seasons is a great accomplishment, especially when you consider one errant shot during the round can sink your chances. I’m very proud of Darin’s second consecutive state appearance and looking forward to watching him compete against top competition next week.”

Whiteman will compete at the state level at Hangman Valley Golf Course in Spokane May 21-22. Start times vary.
