La Porte’s Nicholas Canales, right, speaks with head coach Chad Forbus on the 2nd tee box during a Class 5A boys golf state golf tournament in Georgetown, Wednesday, May., 10, 2022.GEORGETOWN — The Woodlands picked a good time to play its best round of the year.
The Highlanders finished with an overall score of 12-over 588, paced by junior Alex Papayoanou’s 2-over 146, which was good for 15th place in the individual standings. After a rough first day, Morvant led the team Tuesday with a blistering 4-under 68 where he had six birdies. “Monday, we kind of put too much pressure on ourselves,” he said. “Today we came out relaxed and teed off earlier in the day and didn’t have to deal with the wind as much. I think we knew what we needed to do to get in contention, and we did it. … We haven’t been on the podium in a while at the state tournament, so this is a good way to close out the high school career.”
“It was definitely a good finish, and it’s just exciting to be here, and making it here as a team is an accomplishment itself,” he said. “Playing well as an individual means a lot. My driver worked well both days, and I had the right shots working and was fortunate enough to put two solid rounds together.”Memorial sophomore Charlie Wylie and Cypress Creek junior Rex Hargrove marked the area’s other top-15 finishers.
