On Sep. 22, The Marauders finished at 303 (+15) Tuesday at Wakulla Sands Golf Club, claiming the Big Bend Championship team title in one of the few regular-season tournaments on the local schedule that stretches across a full 18 holes. With four scores combining to give Maclay a five-stroke cushion over runner-up Chiles, the Marauders emerged from a field featuring many of the area\u2019s top programs. Chiles finished second at 308 (+20), followed by Suwannee at 312 and Wakulla at 318. Leon placed fifth at 320 (+32), while Florida High finished sixth at 325 (+37). St. John Paul II and Lincoln rounded out the Tallahassee-area teams in the top nine, finishing eighth and ninth, respectively.<\/p>\n
Maclay placed three golfers inside the individual top 14. Junior Brody Mitchell led the Marauders\u2019 charge with a 73 (+1), finishing fifth overall, while senior Austin Nobles carded a 74 (+2) to tie for sixth. Eighth grader Brayden Swiney continued his strong season with a 77 (+5), finishing 14th. Cameron Kise added a 79 (+7), and Downing Jordan finished at 82 (+10).<\/p>\n
While Maclay controlled the team leaderboard, Chiles junior Rhys Cochran was writing a different kind of story at the top of the individual standings.<\/p>\n
Cochran came through the 18-hole test with a 69 (-3), the only round under par in the tournament. The junior\u2019s score separated him from the field, as Mosley\u2019s Cade Denecke finished second at 70 (-2) and Lincoln senior Chase Fleischer followed at 71 (-1). Cochran\u2019s three-under round was the low mark of the championship, giving Chiles the individual winner even Maclay secured the team crown. <\/p>\n

St. John Paul II was led by Jack Collins, who shot 78 (+6) to tie for 15th. Liam Cafferky and Cullen Edwards each finished at 79 (+7).<\/p>\n
