Anthony Bonales nearly achieved all of his goals during his freshman season with Central Valley High School's varsity boys golf program in 2011.
Ian Couture played a major role in Ceres High's team success last spring.
Bonales and Couture once again fill the No. 1 spots in the starting lineups for the Hawks and Bulldogs, respectively.
"Ian will be right there at the top of league again," Bulldogs head coach Scott Smith said. "He's a solid player."
Said Hawks head coach Mike Holliday: "Anthony will play even better than last year."
Bonales, who is now a sophomore, just missed securing a berth to NorCals a season ago. He tied for fourth place at the Sac-Joaquin Section Masters Tournament and saw his season come to an end after losing a five-man playoff. Anthony tied for third at Divisionals. He won the Western Athletic Conference title and MVP award.
"I'm glad with what I did last year," Bonales said. "But I still have to get better as a player. I'm more mentally ready for golf this season. I have a lot more confidence. That makes a huge difference."
Couture, a junior, was the fourth-best player in the WAC last year. Ian helped lead the Bulldogs to a runner-up finish at the conference tournament championship and their first Divisional team berth since 2004.
