La Jolla High School’s boys’ golf varsity team is living up to its expectations this year. In the last three or four years, the team experienced an influx of new, talented freshmen. Much was expected from this group of junior golfers, and this year they delivered. The Vikings remained undefeated throughout the season when they matched up at Torrey Pines Golf Course against rival Cathedral Catholic High School on April 22. The pivotal match would decide which of the strong teams would win League 2013. Cathedral was two strokes in the lead with the last group of players to come in. Vikings Perry Cohen and Ben Leibowitz both delivered an even par score, three strokes better than their opponents, sealing the win by one stroke. Ben Doyle scored 35/-1, the lowest score for the team, while the final team score was an outstanding +4. Following the win over Cathedral Catholic, the team finished the season with another win over St. Augustine on April 24, where senior Will Strauss posted a score of 31/-5 in the nine-hole tournament. Strauss went on to represent La Jolla High in the City Conference Match Play Competition from May 6-10 at Torrey Pines to defend the trophy won in 2012 by sophomore Cohen. May 1 the Vikings continued their quest by placing first in the San Diego City Conference Tournament, in which 16 high schools and 100 golfers participated. Then, on May 2 the Vikings played on for their individual ranking. Strauss placed second, while Cohen placed third and Doyle placed fourth. All three players earned First Team All League honors, while Ben Leibowitz, Eric Tarakjian and Keller Mattoon earned Second Team All League honors. The team is looking forward to continuing its winning streak at the CIF Championships on May 20-22, and CIF Regionals in Los Angeles on May 30. — Staff and contribution
