SIDNEY — The Russia Raiders boys golf team completed a perfect season in the Shelby County Athletic League, capturing the SCAL championship with a score of 332 at the Shelby Oaks Golf Club in Sidney on Thursday.
“I thought we were very consistent today,” Raiders head coach Paul Bremigan said. “I think everyone could say that there were some strokes out there. With four teams within eight shots of each other, it could have gone any way.”
The scorers for Russia were Leo Counts (80), Braylon Cordonnier (83), Vince Borchers (84) and Michael Voisard (85).
The Botkins Trojans narrowly missed out on first place, finishing second with their score of 333.
Top scorers for Botkins were Ross Dietz (69, lowest individual score), Carson Heuker (87), Will Monnin (88) and Treg Meyer (89).
The Anna Rockets bucked the trend of their season by notching a third place finish in the tournament with a team score of 337.
Scorers for the Rockets were Jose Pulfer (74), Josiah Richards (78), Reece Pettit (91) and Evan Cain/Rylan Platfoot (94).
Fort Loramie finished with a score of 340 which was good for a fourth place finish in the tournament.
Its lowest scores were Beau Schafer (74), Jack Cotner (76), Wade Holthaus (94) and Dawson Tennery/Chase Bornhorst (96).
Finishing in fifth place was the Jackson Center Tigers with their score of 353.
“Not a great day today,” Tigers head coach Trent Platfoot said. “I think we definitely could have played better, but they played in tough conditions today.
“The ground was hard and there was a little bit of wind. We’re going to keep working and hopefully we can post a 330 kind of score at sectionals Tuesday.”
Top scorers for Jackson Center were Reed Platfoot (83), Blake Noble (87), Anderson Fark (90) and Tristan Woolley (93).
In sixth place were the Houston Wildcats with their total score of 358. Their leading scores in the event were Tanner Voisard (75), Reagan Steiner (91), Bryce Lukey (94) and Seth Merricle (98).
Rounding out the field in seventh place was Fairlawn.
Fairlawn had a team score of 381 and were led by Garret Maddy (84), Joe Bernardi (87), Maddox Abke (99) and Michael Hammond (111).
Anna, Botkins, Fort Loramie and Russia will all be competing in the Nate Niekamp Invite on Saturday at 8 a.m.
