Golf: BYU lands Idaho's top golfer
Couple more signings to report that slipped through the cracks when they were announced a few weeks ago.
BYU's golf team has signed Tommy Higham, a senior from Shelley High School in Idaho.
Higham is a two-time high school state champion in Idaho and an IGA Junior Champion.
"I'm very impressed with him as an individual," BYU coach Bruce Brockbank said. "He's had a lot of success, he's traveled and gotten some experience, and he's a great student and a great kid."
-------------------
Speaking of golf, former Lone Peak High star Annie (Thurman) Young is the new women's golf coach at Oklahoma State. Young played for Oklahoma State during her college career. The program in Stillwater is considered one of the best in the country.
------------------
BYU's men's tennis team recently signed a pair of high school standouts, including one from Utah.
Brighton High's Spencer Smith and Ricardo Campos of Mexico City, Mexico, recently said they will be Cougars.
Smith has dominated the United State Tennis Association's Intermountain Region, winning 13 consecutive sectional titles and remaining unbeaten in the region for the past two and a half years. He has represented Brighton well with three state championships at the No. 1 singles position for the Bengals.
The Brighton standout has also garnered national recognition with a singles ranking as high as No. 18 and a doubles ranking as high as No. 4 in the country. He has earned two third-place doubles finishes as well as making quarterfinal singles appearances in three national championships.
Campos, who attended school in Mexico City, also received accolades throughout his junior career. He has been Mexico's national champion in both singles and doubles and has won ten national doubles titles since the age of 12.
