Third state title in five years for Saints, Kye Hanks earns individual medalist honor
FILE PHOTO - Kye Hanks won individual medalist honors at the Division II, District 2 tournament on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at the Lake Charles Country Club with a 9-under 63. (Rodrick Anderson / American Press) Rain and lightning cut the second round of the high school state golf championships on Tuesday to nine holes, but it was more than enough for the St. Louis Catholic boys. The Saints won their third Division II state title in five years, and junior Kye Hanks won the individual medalist honor. St. Louis beat last year's runner-up, Teurlings Catholic, by 28 strokes (457-485) at Farm d'Allie Golf Club in Carencro. 'I couldn't be prouder of this group of kids,' St. Louis head coach Pat Neck said. 'They worked really hard on their games. 'Everybody improved from the beginning of the season to the end. It was a total team effort. We used everyone's score at one time or another throughout the season. It is a great way to send our one senior (Samuel Broussard) out.' Play was suspended one hole into the back nine after the Louisiana High School Athletic Association stopped play at all sites, Neck said. All state tournaments were cut to 27 holes from the standard 36 over two days. Cane Row Golf Club in New Iberia, host site of the boys Division IV tournament, experienced a hailstorm Tuesday. Hanks shot a 2-under 106 to beat Holy Cross' Fulton Pigeon by seven strokes. Hanks was also the regional and district medalist. 'It feels great,' Hanks said. 'It really just matters that we got the team win. That is what we all had in mind. That is what we all wanted after last year.' After shooting a 3-under 69 on Monday, Hanks started the rain-shortened second round with back-to-back bogies, plus a double bogey on No. 6. But he mixed in birdies on Nos. 4, 5 and 9 to get to 1 over before play was halted. 'My irons were very good,' Hanks said. 'I didn't get off the tee too well or around the green too well, but I was able to get in some good spots going into the green and was able to knock a couple of putts down.' Broussard finished third at 115 and junior Kane Hanks was fifth at 116. Girls At the Division I girls tournament at Les Vieux Chenes in Youngsville, Barbe finished as the runner-up to Benton for a second consecutive year. Mattie Purgahn, last year's medalist, placed fifth 5-over 115, while Maggie Dressler tied for sixth with Ruston's Kate Boersma at 117. Brusly's Maci Williams won the medalist honor at 6 under to beat Benton's Grace Goodwin by three strokes. She shot a 70 on Monday and was 2 under Tuesday before play was suspended. In Division II, Westlake's Ali Evans placed fifth and led her team to a third-place finish at 277. Sacred Heart-New Orleans won the team title with a 10-over 234, while Episcopal was second at 242. Evans shot 17-over 129 in the 27-hole tournament.

Alijah Arenas' final game in Chatsworth uniform ends in defeat in Sacramento
Alijah Arenas, holding back tears and feeling miserable after missing all seven of his shots in the fourth quarter on Saturday in a 66-53 loss to Carmichael Jesuit in the state Division II championship game, stood in the middle of the court embracing every Chatsworth teammate as their names were read. The emotion and disappointment was visble at Golden 1 Center, and yet he stood his ground in his final high school game that saw him finish with 3,002 career points but back-to-back defeats in state finals. This is an example of leadership. Alijah Arenas embracing every teammate while feeling miserable after loss to Jesuit in state finals. All-time City scoring leader. Remember the moment. — eric sondheimer (@latsondheimer) March 16, 2025 Later, in the interview room, his coach, Sam Harris, was even more emotional, unable to speak at the beginning. The Chancellors wanted a win so badly after losing in last year's Division IV final. They had made so much progress, relying on Arenas but getting contributions from others. Instead, Jesuit, supported by a loud contingent of students from its nearby campus, made eight threes and used its matchup zone defense to leave the Chancellors unable to respond in the fourth quarter after being down 43-40. "We were happy to be here, but this is tough," Harris said. "It's a special group. We didn't knock down enough shots." Emotional loss for Chatsworth. — eric sondheimer (@latsondheimer) March 16, 2025 Arenas finished with 22 points. "I feel more of the story was effort on both ends," Arenas said. "They had more heart." Freshman Maison Phillips made three threes and finished with 19 points to lead Jesuit to its first state title. Jesuit had lost twice to Crenshaw in the 1990s in state finals. Headed to USC, Arenas decided to attend Chatsworth despite numerous other opportunities from more publicized schools known for basketball excellence. Through his own perseverance and leadership, he helped the Chancellors make history. "We took neighborhood kids from Chatsworth to back-to-back state championship games," Harris said. The tears Arenas had were because it was tough to say goodbye to his teammates. They had become some of his best friends. He tried his best to deliver a championship, but sometimes it doesn't work out. That's why embracing each one for a final time was telling them he would be friends for life. One of those was center Taj Unuakhalu, who had 10 rebounds, nine points and was one of the most improved players. It was Arenas' final game putting on a Chatsworth uniform. He leaves quite a legacy, from being the all-time City Section scoring leader to being chosen a McDonald's All-American. The next time you'll see Arenas' No. 0 jersey will be when it's framed on the wall of Chatsworth's gym, because that's going to happen one day for his many contributions in three years over three seasons of basketball excellence.
