PREP GOLF: Priest River boys capture second consecutive 3A District 1-2 title

I grew up in the small town of Orwigsburg, Pa., where I resided all of my life before moving to Sandpoint. I attended Blue Mountain High School, where I participated in cross country and track and field, a sport that I ended up falling in love with. I went on to attend and run for DeSales University (with other brief stints at Susquehanna University and Elizabethtown College) and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sport communication with a minor in sport management. I remember just how great it made me feel when I was mentioned in my hometown newspaper. I want to be able to give that feeling to every athlete in Bonner County, no matter how big or small their accomplishments are. As an athlete myself, I know how many hours of work are put in on a daily basis, and that hard work deserves to be recognized. It is my goal to cover as much of the Bulldogs, Spartans and Wampus Cats as I can. I want to work with every athlete, parent, coach, administrator and the community to ensure the best stories are published. | May 5, 2026 12:00 PM

POST FALLS — Junior Nate Fegert finished fourth with a 9-over-par 82, senior Dawson Strange tied for fifth with an 11-over-par 84, and the Spartans claimed the 3A District 1-2 Championship title for the second consecutive year on Monday at The Links Golf Club.  

Parker Bradbury carded a 92, Mason Fenderson chipped in a 94, and Mason Crump shot a 95 for Priest River, which beat runner-up Kellogg by two strokes and third-place Logos by 11 strokes.

Senior Payton Stevens recorded a team-best 106 for Clark Fork.

Chase Lovell of Potlatch won the 3A District 1-2 title with an even-par 73.
