The senior golfer received over 4,700 votes (45.7%) to earn the honor. Bridges played the best round of his high school career, carding a 1-under-par 33 at Presidents Golf Course. That scored played a major role in the Raiders posting their lowest team score in 16 years with a 213-250 win over Silver Lake.
