Fallbrook High School’s boys golf team opened its season March 3, losing that day’s match to Dana Hills but defeating Vista in a March 4 match.

The Warriors lost to Dana Hills by a 204-211 score on the Monarch Beach at the Links course while taking a 200-225 victory over Vista at the San Luis Rey Downs course. In both matches a Fallbrook player had the low round for either team.

"In my mind this team could be a team that scores in the 190s regularly," said Fallbrook coach Steve Jorde. "If you do that you have a real good chance to be in most matches."

High school golf matches involve six golfers from each school. The top five nine-hole scores comprise the team total.
