High School Roundup: Country Day comes up short in CIF playoffs

Country Day’s bid at repeat falls short

The La Jolla Country Day baseball team tried to make it back to the Division IV CIF baseball finals, but came up short, losing to Madison in the semifinals last week.

The Torreys won the Division IV CIF title last season.

The year was still a success as the team produced more than 20 wins for the third straight season. In Coastal South League play, the Torreys finished second to Santa Fe Christian, the team that went on to beat Madison in the CIF final, 4-3.

Doyle, Cohen end season at regional

La Jolla High’s Ben Doyle and Perry Cohen played in the Southern California Regional last week but did not shoot low enough scores to advance to the state meet. Doyle shot a 3-over par 75, while Cohen carded a 77. Doyle won the event last season as a freshman.

As a team, Torrey Pines High School won the event and advance to the state tournament. It was the third straight SoCal title for Torrey Pines High.

The overall individual winner was Bryson DeChambeau, who shot a 6-under 66.

The CIF state tournament is at the San Gabriel Country Club on Wednesday (June 6).
