The Scobey Spartans added another championship trophy to an already memorable school year Wednesday, capturing their third consecutive Class C boys state golf title at Marias Valley Golf & Country Club in Shelby on May 19-20.

The state title also completed a remarkable three-sport sweep for Scobey boys during the 2025-26 school year as the Spartans added golf to their previously won Class C 8-man football and boys basketball championships.

Scobey improved significantly on the second day of competition, trimming its score from +38 on day one to +25 on day two to finish at +63 overall, comfortably ahead of Manhattan Christian (+85), Forsyth (+86) and Seeley-Swan (+88).

The top four individual finishers were:

• State Champ- Patrick No Runner of Broadus — 74-72—146

• Grady Dow, Centerville — 74-80—154

• Denver Thomas, St. Regis — 79-80—159

Although he did not repeat as state champion, defending champion Cooper Axtman put together another outstanding tournament, finishing fourth overall with rounds of 85 and 75 for a 160 total, including one of the tournament’s best final-day rounds.

Scobey also packed the leaderboard with strong finishes:
