Channel League title remains with Dons

Santa Barbara High's Ryan Stoll helped the Dons win their sixth straight Channel League championship on Thursday.

Santa Barbara High’s boys golf team put the finishing touches on its sixth consecutive Channel League championship on Thursday with a 363-377 victory over Ventura.

Ryan Stoll’s one-over 71 was good for medalist honors. Each of Santa Barbara’s other scorers – James Morton, Spencer Mikles, Mickey Kirby, Jonathan Collins – recorded matching 73s.

Stoll birdied the final hole to stay ahead of his teammates.

“This team continues to amaze me with the level of play they have had the last few weeks,” said Dons head coach James Bedard. “They continue to push each other and pick each other up when things are not going as well. This is the perfect time with playoffs just around the corner.”

The Dons (19-1) finished league play with an undefeated 8-0 record. Next up is the Channel League Individual Championships next Tuesday and Wednesday at Soule Park in Ojai.
