Butte High golfers Chase Choquette, Kate DeShaw and Keeley Johnston finished just out of the running for All-State honors Friday at the Class AA State tournament. (Results, use pass code “STATEAA25.”)

Helena Capital’s John Gilbert claimed boys’ medalist honors in dramatic fashion. He drained a long birdie putt on the third hole of a sudden-death playoff to beat Missoula Sentinel’s Jack Schaefer for the state title.

Gilbert and Schaefer both finished with a 1-over-par 141, shooting a 72 on Thursday and a 69 Friday on the par-72 course.

Jack Prinski of Great Falls Russell placed third at 144.

The top 15 players earn All-State honors, and Choquette missed that by just one shot. He followed a 76 with an 81 for a 157 to place 18th. The four players just ahead of him tied for 14th.

Lane Lisac, who is an eighth grader at East Middle School, was the only other Bulldog boy to play at State. He improved four shots for an 81 and a 166 total.

On the girls’ side, Billings Senior’s Payton Tryan took home medalist honors at 153. She shot a 77 after an opening-round 76. Heidi Huber of Bozeman took second at 160, followed by Kira Connell of Bozeman at 162.

Bulldog junior Kate DeShaw improved four shots for a 93 and a 190 total and 18th place. She missed the top 15 and All-State by two shots.

Butte High senior Keeley Johnston followed a 92 with a 99 for a 191 total and 19th place.

Missoula Sentinel won the boys’ title, and Bozeman claimed the girls’ crown.
