PORT CHARLOTTE— Charlotte High School’s boys golf team is showing in the early season that it could be a force to reckon with in the District 3A-15 tournament.

The Tarpons used balance throughout their lineup in defeating host Port Charlotte 156-167 at Port Charlotte Golf Club on Monday. Charlotte (2-0) was paced by junior Alex Guzman, who carded a 1-over par 37 to share medalist honors with Pirates senior Vincent Farruggio.
