CoIFeRS REAch REqioNAl CONTEST The 1976 boys' golf team achieved something few sports achieved this year — a district championship. Although MHS led the district race all the way, Lubbock High and Plainview posed a menace throughout the district rounds. But the 'Men continued to fight and finally claimed their second straight title. Coach Charles Brewer's team started off slowly, finishing tenth in the Midland tournament and third in the Lubbock Invitational affair. But they put things together in the first district round at Meadowbrook. opening a three-stroke lead over Plainview. The Plainsmen shot 304 in the second district round at Hereford to vault into a five-stroke lead. In the third round at Plainview, however, the host Bulldogs fired a 301 to shave Monterey's lead to two shots. Round Four at Meadowbrook saw Lubbock High move into contention. The Westerners shot 296 for a total of 1243. But MHS had a 300 to hold the lead with a 1227 total as Plainview began to falter. The 'Men took a break from district action to participate in the Amarillo Relays. Monterey won the tournament and Rex Robertson became the first Monterey golfer ever to win the tourney’s medalist title. MHS came in third in the fifth round at Plainview, shooting 326 to the Bulldogs’ 314. However, the 'Men retained a twelve-shot lead with a 1553 total. Plainview and Lubbock High moved into a second-place tie at 1565. The final district round was held at Hereford. Although LHS fired a 300, Monterey shot 306 to win the district championship with an 1859 team total. The Lubbock Westerners tallied 1865 for second place. Rex Robertson won his second consecutive district medalist title as he compiled a 442 through the district rounds. The golfers came in fourth in the regional tournament and Kim Coulter led Monterey with a 149 total. But the team came home with an excellent season and a district championship, something that was hard to come by for Monterey athletics in 1975-76.
