High School Golf Championships

Kassy Tejada of Catalina Foothills blasts out of a bunker on a windy day at Dell Urich. Her team finished fourth.

Tucson Athlete of the Week: Frank Deutsch (not featured in the photo above) is 73 years old, retired from a career as a home builder and even a musician. He is a two-time cancer survivor, including a recent fight with prostate cancer, which forced him to give up golf for several months. But last Monday at Dell Urich Golf Course, Deutsch, currently a 12-handicap who grew up in Pittsburgh before becoming a Tucsonan, shot a remarkable 2-under-par 68, shooting his age by five years with a remarkable 33-35. It was the best score of Deutsch’s golfing life. Never say never, right?
