Gates entered the tournament confident in his abilities, believing he could compete with any golfer on the North Course. However, he ultimately tied for 20th place out of 72 golfers, finishing with a 12-over-par 156 after rounds of 78 and 78 over the two days. Despite challenging conditions, including wind and rain, Gates remained positive about his performance and the experience. Gates was the first golfer from River Valley to represent the school at state since 2014, and the first from Marion County since 2021. Looking ahead, Gates is optimistic about the upcoming season, hoping to improve his game and contribute to a successful team performance.",
