PORT LUDLOW — South Kitsap’s Drew Halili won the individual title at the Port Ludlow Invitational but couldn’t quite lead the Wolves to the team championship.
South Kitsap and Olympic each finished with team scores of 351 after playing 18 holes at Port Ludlow Golf Course on Tuesday. That sent the boys golf tournament to a four-on-four aggregate-score playoff that was won by the Trojans.
Halili shot 38 on both the front nine and the back nine to finish with a 4-over-par 76. Olympic’s C.J. Lagat took second with a 79 and teammate Roger O’Hara was third at 83 strokes.
Chimacum’s Marcus Bufford was the North Olympic Peninsula’s top scorer Tuesday, shooting a round of 87 that tied him for fifth place with Central Kitsap’s Jesse Goessman.
Chimacum’s James Porter and Chris Bainbridge both shot 89s to finish in a three-way tie for seventh with South Kitsap’s Jesse Strutz.
Logan Storm was the Cowboys other scorer, finishing with a 104.
Chimacum placed third as a team with a combined score of 369.
The only other area team competing at the Port Ludlow Invitational was Sequim, which finished eighth out of eight teams with 414 strokes but was playing without heavy hitters Jack Shea, Blake Wiker and Jade Arnold.
Josiah Carter shot the Wolves’ best score, a 91 that tied for 10th. Liam Payne carded a 97 to take 20th, Joey Oliver’s 110 was 35th and Gavin Happe’s 116 was 42nd.
Central Kitsap finished fourth with a 385, Kingston was fifth (387), North Kitsap was sixth (388) and Vashon was seventh (400).
Chimacum and Sequim are at the midway point of a busy week. Both teams are scheduled to compete at the Tim Higgins Memorial at Kitsap Golf and Country Club today, and then at the Duke Streeter Invite at Peninsula Golf Club on Friday.

PORT ANGELES — The Roughriders wrapped up their Olympic League schedule with a loss to the Buccaneers at Peninsula Golf Club.
Kingston’s Kindra Smith was the match medalist with a nine-hole score of 47.
Port Angeles senior Maddie Boe had Tuesday’s second-best outing by shooting a 52.
“Captain Maddie Boe has shown solid leadership and bounced back well from a couple of difficult match days, following up with solid scores,” Riders coach Jacob Lippold said.
“She is looking forward to the Olympic League tournament with an eye on qualifying for districts.”
Hailey Scott’s round of 60 was Port Angeles’ second-best. Rose Shinn-Clark shot a 65 and Haylie Goudie carded a 66.
“Fun season with all 13 players on the team playing in at least one varsity match — the most of any school in the Olympic League,” Lippold said.
The Riders host five other teams for the Duke Streeter Invite on Monday at Peninsula Golf Club.
After that, they play in the Olympic League championships at Cedars at Dungeness in Sequim on Tuesday, May 10.
