Judging by the individual winners in the City Prep golf tournament Wednesday at The Bear Trace at Harrison Bay, one is glad things went the same way as last year, and one was glad they didn’t.

Cleveland senior Rheagan Hall repeated as the girls’ medalist. Walker Valley senior Parker Gray, who lost in a playoff in 2016, was the boys’ medalist.

In the quests for team titles, last year’s second-place finishers were this year’s first-place teams. McCallie totaled 11-over-par 299 and won the boys’ team championship by six strokes over Walker Valley. The Baylor girls’ 158 was four shots better than the scores posted by Cleveland and GPS.

Hall won last year’s City Prep with a 78, shooting 6 over on the front side, forgoing her driver for the rest of the round and playing par golf on the back.
