Rangel finishes third for BMHS boys golf team in Jackpot

The Battle Mountain High School boys golf team traveled to Jackpot on Friday and played in less than ideal conditions. The Longhorns finished with a team total of 543.

Alan Rangel paced the Longhorns with a round of 84 to finish third overall. Noah Villanueva was next in line at 106 and Austin Wallock and Brody Young shot 111 and 112, respectively. Anthony Lewis carded a 130 and Ryan Winrod shot 133.

“We didn’t play well in the cold and the wind,” said BMHS coach Roger Wallock. “Alan had a great day and is showing he is one of the best golfers in our league right now. We need to have a solid week of practice because we took a step backwards this week.”

Battle Mountain is back on the course on Thursday in Ely at White Pine Golf Course. The regional and state tournaments are set for mid-May.
