Golf buddies battle for district title

It had been a long time since Ben Gruher and Brian Humphreys went one-on-one on the golf course, but that’s what the 4A district tournament boiled down to Tuesday.

Gruher, a Union High School sophomore, shot rounds of 70 and 73 strokes for a combined score of 143 on the Tri-Mountain Golf Course, in Ridgefield. Humphreys, a Camas High School junior, rallied with a 70, but finished with a 144.
