Cook, Ladd combine skills for Newport tourney win Behind the powerful swings of the two golfers named most valuable players, jun- iors Gary Ladd and Windol Cook, the Varsity Golf Team was led to the season cli- max as they swept the Newport Invitational Golf Tournament. With Cook's low of the season, a 76, Ladd's 79 and Craig Barclay's 81, they returned home with a first under their belts. Returning as last year's most valuable player, Ladd scored again with four medals to tie with Cook for the golf award. As runner-up in the Deer Park Tournament, Ladd met his lowest score, a 77, and senior Blake Hutchinson finished with 81 strokes. The team fell no shorter than seventh place out of 38 as the Galveston Tournament provided competition from states throughout the southwest including schools from Louisiana.
