CORAL SPRINGS – Bianca Gibbs of Goral Glades and John Buono of Western now have something in common.
After Monday each can call themselves champions of the annual BCAA Damian Huttenhoff Golf Tournament played Monday at the Country Club of Coral Springs.
Gibbs, the Jaguars junior, shot the lowest round of the one-day tournament, boy or girl, with a 4-under 66. She finished five strokes better than second place finisher Elisa Hernandez of Douglas, who shot a 1-over 71.
In a more dramatic finish for the boys, it took an extra playoff hole to determine the winner.
Buono, a senior and four-year player for the Wildcats needed an extra hole with against Jason Andre of St. Thomas Aquinas to determine the boy’s individual champ.
Buono, who averages 37.9 for nine holes this season, drove the 271-yard, par 4, 10th hole. He would birdie the hole to win the title.
“He just has a complete game,” said Western coach Jeff Ramsden. “He’s great off the tee. He plays each shot individually and keeps his composure for his swings to work.”
Douglas won the boys team title with a final score of 297, two strokes better than Deerfield Beach. Douglas also won the girls team title, outdistancing second place St. Thomas Aquinas by 28 strokes.
