BREAKING: La Salle Wins State Championship

The La Salle Academy Rams won the 2022 High School Golf State Championship on Wednesday afternoon at Cranston Country Club. 

The Rams posted a two-day score of 605 (37-over) to beat Bishop Hendricken and by 19 shots and claim the title. 

“This kind of was a dominant year for us. We led the state in scoring average, and we showed it in these big tournaments. I’m just really happy for our seniors. This year just felt different because of how close we all were,” said La Salle star Max Jackson after the round.
