Alabama high school golf: Check out the leaders from Day 1 of AHSAA state tournaments

# **UNREAL: Denton Brooks Goes Full Demon Mode with 63 as Mountain Brook Obliterates State Field** If you weren't at Magnolia Grove on Monday, you missed a literal masterclass. Mountain Brook’s **Denton Brooks** didn’t just play golf; he solved it. The Spartan standout turned the opening round of the AHSAA Class 6A state tournament into his own personal highlight reel, carding a mind-bending **9-under 63**. Brooks is currently operating on a different planet, leading the pack in Mobile as the AHSAA State Golf Championships made history. For the first time in 78 years, the tournament is being staged across three different zip codes simultaneously—and the vibes are absolutely electric. Check the full breakdown of who is cooking and who is struggling below, exclusively on **205focus.com**. ### **THE BIG STAGE: 7A & 6A BOYS AT MAGNOLIA GROVE** While Brooks was busy breaking the course, he wasn’t the only one with "Main Character" energy. Hoover’s **Cameron Rockett** and Vestavia Hills’ **Clarke Brown** both posted blistering **7-under 65s**. In any other year, that’s a guaranteed headline, but in 2024, they’re chasing a 63. The 7A field is deep, with 14 players finishing under par. **Henry Brown** (UMS-Wright), **Tyler Lindsey** (Sparkman), and **Cooper Pratt** (Auburn) are all within striking distance after shooting **67s**. **Team Race:** Vestavia Hills is showing why they’re the defending champs. They are currently **13-under** as a squad (275), sitting on a comfortable 7-stroke lead over Hoover. **The 6A Freak Show:** We need to talk about Mountain Brook. As a team, the Spartans finished **25-under par**. Read that again. Their 263 total is basically a glitch in the matrix. Northridge is putting up a fight at 8-under, but the Spartans are currently in another dimension. ### **GLENCOE GRIND: 5A & 4A BOYS AT SILVER LAKES** Up at RTJ Silver Lakes, the course was playing a bit more "gatekeeper." In **Class 5A**, Scottsboro’s **Connor Harper** is the man to beat after a gritty **1-over 73**. It’s a dead heat in the team standings, with Bayside Academy and Scottsboro locked at 313. Tomorrow is going to be a certified war. In **Class 4A**, **Mac Steltenpohl** (Houston Academy) was the only one to escape the day at even par (72). Brooks High School holds the team lead, but with American Christian and Haleyville lurking, nobody is safe. ### **DOTHAN DOMINANCE: 3A & 1A/2A BOYS AT HIGHLAND OAKS** Down in Dothan, **Boone Thigpen** (Rogers) is the 3A king for now after a solid **2-under 70**. Montgomery Academy holds the team lead, but the story in 1A/2A is the tie at the top: **Carson Chandler** (Donoho) and **Jay Wilson** (Elba) are both sitting at 1-under. ### **THE QUEENS OF THE GREEN: GIRLS STATE RESULTS** The girls' divisions are bringing just as much heat. **Class 7A:** **Klare Jamison** (Grissom) is officially "Him" (or "Her," rather) after a **5-under 67**. She’s five strokes clear of the field. In the team race, Oak Mountain and Grissom are locked in a stalemate at 7-over. **Class 6A:** Spanish Fort has established a 7-shot cushion over the Pike Road dynasty. **Sara Carter-Hare** (Spanish Fort) and **Adalyn Pike** (Athens) both dropped **69s** to share the individual lead. **Class 1A/3A:** **Julie Waldo** of Alabama Christian is the absolute star of Dothan, firing a **5-under 67**. She has a massive lead, proving she’s in a league of her own right now. ### **THE LEADERBOARD (DAY 1)** #### **CLASS 7A BOYS** **Team Standings:** 1. Vestavia Hills (-13) 2. Hoover (-6) 3.
