There will be a new medalist. That is about the only sure thing for the 10th annual Klamath Basin Invitational boys golf tournament that begins at noon Friday at the Running Y.
Henley's Blaine Corkill won last year's title with a 1-under par 71, but he has graduated and now is at Boise State University.
And, if early season scores indicate anything, the battle for individual honors for what started out as the State of Jefferson Invitational should be wide open.
Henley's Josh Golden and Christopher Henry had the best rounds last year among the Klamath Basin players who can return this season. Each had a 79, while teammate Russel Moates finished with an 82.
Golden is coming off a 74 Tuesday in a match in which Henley set a school record for lowest team round, a 306.
“I remember us having a 308 one time, but I am pretty sure this is the lowest score in Henley history,” coach Jeff Corkill said. “We're starting to play pretty good golf and the kids are getting dividends out of their hard work at practice.”
Klamath Union's Carter Mast had an 84 last year while Modoc's Keith Montague notched an 87 and is the lone returning player for his team.
Pleasant Valley won last year's team title with a 306, five strokes better than Henley. It was PV's third win in four years, with Shasta winning two years ago.
“They're pretty good again this year, too,” Corkill said.
The only local team to win the championship is KU, which won in 1999, 2000 and 2002. KU's Craig (1999) and Mark Paulsen (2000) are the only other local players to win the individual title.
In addition to Henley, KU, Modoc, Pleasant Valley and Shasta, the other teams expected to participate Friday are Mazama, Enterprise, South Umpqua and Weed.
Mazama replaces Lakeview this year.

" Long live Matt Miles! He was the "Billy Kilmer" of Semi Pro Football: tough, gritty, fiery leader, winning mentality. I will never forget this "young gunslinger", he made this league better for being in it.
