The LHSAA boys and girls state golf championships were postponed Monday due to the stormy weather which pushed back the start to today, and the tournaments will now conclude on Wednesday in the Lafayette area.

Girls Divisions I and II will start today at 9 a.m. and play 18 holes and another 18 on Wednesday. Both divisions will be played at Les Vieux Chenes Golf Club in Youngsville.

Local individuals playing in Division I include Grace Goodwin and Abigail McWilliams of Benton, Captain Shreve’s Addison Montoya and Haylee Crowder from Haughton. Loyola golfers Julia Braud and Kathryn Jackson will tee it up for Loyola.

Boys Division I will tee off at The Wetlands in Lafayette. Byrd’s team of James Holtsclaw, Brooks Reid, Grant Reagan, Shep Smith and Campbell Gosslee will be playing for a third consecutive state title. Last year’s runner-up Benton will have Kade Bryant, Cason Toms, Miller Davis, Colton Halverson and Auston Race participating. Northwood’s Ryder Briggs also qualified for championship play.
