BlueJay golf looking to improve from day one at state
After day one of the Class 5A boys golf state championship it appears the team trophy will be staying in Ardmore. Meanwhile, the Guthrie BlueJays struggled on day one at Ardmore’s Dornick Hills golf course.
The BlueJays best round all day came from senior Jack Klein, who scored an 73 in the second stretch of 18 holes in the 54 hole contest that concludes Tuesday afternoon. Klein finished the first day as the top scorer for the Jays with a 163 on the par 70 course, but 21 shots off leader and defending state champion Taylor Williams, of Chickasha.
Guthrie’s Brent Jenkins scored an 89 and 88, Ethan Delno 92 and 85, Bryce Sullivan 86 and 92, and Brayden Berryman 94 and 96 for the team score of 695.
As a team, the Jays are 10th in the 12 team field, but will take aim at a top six finish.

Guthrie Boys Golf headed back to State
“Heading into this regional I just wanted us to qualify for the state tournament,” Guthrie boys head golf coach Ric Meshew said of his expectations for his squad. In the end, his BlueJays did just that.
Jack Klein, Brent Jenkins, Brayden Berryman, Bryce Sullivan, Ethan Delno, and Coach Ric Meshew are headed to the State Tournament.
Guthrie hosted the 5A West regional, on Monday, at Cedar Valley’s Augusta Golf Course, where the Jays finished fourth overall to qualify for next week’s state tournament, at Dornick Hills, in Ardmore.
The 36-hole regional needed almost 12 hours of play to conclude and at the end it was Chickasha (639) taking the spot for the regional championship as the top six teams qualifed for state. Duncan finished second with a 645 score followed by McGuinness (650), Guthrie (651), Deer Creek (653) and Lawton MacArthur (667).
After the turn (first 18 holes) Guthrie and Chickasha were a top the leader board with scores of 323. In fact, seven teams were within 11 shots of each other.
“This regional had 9 teams that had a great chance of qualifying and I am proud of our guys on the way they came out,” an exhausted Meshew said, who not only had to coach his squad, but manage the regional.
Defending Class 5A state champion Taylor Williams, of Chickasha, claimed the individual top spot on the par 70 course. The senior shot 34-34-34-37 for a total score of 139 (one under) to win by 12 strokes over McGuinness David Krahl.
Guthrie was led by Jack Klein’s two round total of 156. His score was the seventh best in the field. After shooting a first round 80, he responded with a 76 on the final 18 holes and still did not seem happy with his result.
“Jack was a little upset with the 80, but he came back strong on the final 18 and really helped us out as our top golfer on the day,” Meshew said, who helped lead the 1998 Guthrie team to the 5A state championship.
The Jays got a boost from perhaps the smallest participant in the field in Guthrie’s Brayden Berryman. The freshmen scored a 38 and 39 to begin his day with a 77 before ending it with a 41, 43 for a back 18 score of 84.
“Brayden came out and performed big for us.” We could have used all five of our guys scores in any of the two rounds and still would have qualifed,” Meshew said about the 16 stroke cushion over the last qualifed team.
Each team is allowed to take their top four scores of each round toward their team score.
Junior Ethan Delno finished the day with a 166 that included a 39 on the back nine to end the day. Sophomore left-hander, Brent Jenkins posted scores of 82 and 86 while senior Bryce Sullivan chipped in with an 85 and 91.
Tee times will be announced soon from the OSSAA for the state tournament. The 54-hole tournament is set to begin on Friday and end on Saturday in Ardmore.

Boys golf takes third in conference
The Guthrie boys golf team took on Surrey Hills golf course and their conference opponents on Monday and came away with a third place finish.
Jack Klein talks with head coach Ric Meshew about his round at Cedar Valley earlier this year.
As a team, the Jays finished with a score of 328 with Piedmont taking the conference title by shooting a 319 and Deer Creek finishing second with a 320 score.
Individually, Jack Klein led the way for the BlueJays as he tied for fifth overall and made all-conference with a 78 score.
Bryce Sullivan, who will play football next season at Southwestern in Weatherford, shot a personal best 79 and was good enough to finish tied for 10th. Sullivan joined Klein on the all-conference team and was aided by shooting even par on the last 9 holes.
Also competing for Guthrie was Brent Jenkins, who shot an 84, Ethan Delno scored an 87, Brayden Berryman shot an 89, Caleb Davis shot a 95, and Austin Mccaul shot a 88.
Guthrie will now move on to Lincoln west, on Thursday, and then host the Bluejay Bash next Thursday.

BlueJays host 5A Preview; Ardmore takes title
Perhaps a good preview of the Class 5A golf regional was on display Friday morning at Cedar Valley’s Augusta course.
Brent Jenkins watches his tee shot land in the fairway on No. 1 Friday morning.
After battling wintery cool conditions over the last week, the 5A golfers enjoyed blue skies and light winds as 11 teams and 64 players took part in the Guthrie 5A Preview. A good portion of the teams will return to the course for the May 2nd west regional.
“We had a great turn out with some good teams,” head coach Ric Meshew said. “I think the players and coaches really enjoyed what the course had to offer today.”
Ardmore, who are perhaps the favorites to win the team title come May 10th when they host the state tournament at Dornick HIlls, took the overall team title by 24 shots with a score of 292. Both Deer Creek and Duncan finished with a score of 316, Chickasha (320) was fourth overall, and the Jays finished with a score of 327.
Ardmore’s Cash Campbell was the only player to score under par with a 69 by shooting a 34 on the front nine and even par on the back nine. Defending 5A state champion, Taylor Williams, of Chickasha, carded a 71 for second. Ardmore’s Andrew Riesen finished third with a two over 72.
For Guthrie they were paced by their No. 1 player Jack Klein, who shot a 39 and 36 for a score of 75. Klein tied for seventh overall with Carl Albert’s Kauton Vaverka and Duncan’s Tyler Morrow.
Guthrie’s left hander Brent Jenkins scored a 44 on the front nine, but shot a very respectable 37 on the back nine holes for an 81. Freshmen Brayden Berryman scored an 85, Austin McCaul 86, Ethan Delno an 87, and both Bryce Sullivan and Caleb Davis turned in rounds of 92.
The Jays will travel to Enid, on Monday to play the Meadlowlake golf course and then The Territory course in Duncan.

Golf facing tough competition; Jenkins records hole-in-one
The Guthrie High School golf team traveled to Ardmore for a two-day event between Dornick Hills and Lakeview courses for the Max Williamson Invitational this past weekend.
Guthrie’s top two scores once again proved to be Jack Klein and Brent Jenkins. Klein recorded an overall score of 158 with an 80 on Friday and 78 on Saturday. Jenkins shot a 74 and 86 for a club house 160. Bryce Sullivan recorded a 99 and 96, Brayden Berryman 85 and 88, and Austen McCaul came in with a 94 and 93.
Casey Fernandez of McAlester was the individual champion, shooting 70 on each course for a 140 tournament.
Klein holed a shot from 105 yards out, on Friday, on the cliff hole at Dornick Hills for an eagle. Not to be out done, Jenkins had a hole-in-one on No. 4 at Dornick Hills.
“That was the first hole-in-one (in competition) for a Guthrie golfer since I have been the coach,” head coach Ric Meshew said.
The tournament fielded 24 teams comprising some of the elite 6A schools and taking the title was Jenks, who topped Ardmore 589-603. The closest 5A team to Ardmore was Chickasha, who shot a 662. Class 6A schools Norman North (622) and Ponca City (634) and 4A’s Ada (635) rounded out the top five. The Jays finished eighth overall.
In other action this week, Jameson Benson shot a 112, on Monday afternoon, and Tylor Self recorded an 87 to finish 11th overall at Fort Cobb State Park in Anadarko. On Tuesday, it was a talented field in the 2011 Bulldog Invitational, at Kickingbird, in Edmond.
Guthrie finished 15th of the 19 teams with a team score of 341 as the host team, Memorial, took first place by a narrow margin (285-286) over cross town rival Edmond North. The Jays were joined by private school OCS as the only non 6A schools.
Jack Klein tied for 26th overall by shooting a 78 while Brent Jenkins came in with an 86. Other BlueJay scorers were Ethan Delno 84, Caleb Davis 101, Brayden Berryman 93, Bryce Sullivan 94, and Caleb Davis with a 101.
Alec Heinen of Edmond North took top individual honors with a 68.
Guthrie will host the 5A preview this Friday morning at Cedar Valley with an 8 a.m. shotgun start on Augusta.
