Windermere High boys golf tied with Lake Mary High for second at Winter Park High’s Birdies for the Brain Invitational and Fundraiser. The annual tournament raises money to fight Alzheimer’s, with each birdie made equaling a donation.

The Wolverines finished with a team score of 295, three strokes behind tournament champions Circle Christian Academy (292). The First Academy finished fourth, two strokes behind Windermere.

On the individual front, Windermere senior Cameron Baez and TFA sophomore Joshua Castellanos had the best finishes of any other area golfers — both shooting a 71, along with Circle Christian’s Karl Stenson over the 18 holes at Rio Pinar Golf Club. The trio tied for fourth.
