HINCKLEY,
Ohio – Rocky River Boys’ Golf closed out its 2019 season on Monday. The Pirates
placed 15th of 20 teams in the Division I Boys’ Golf Northeast
District Tournament.
River posted
a four-man score of 338 over the 6,600-yard, par-72 course at Pine Hill Golf
Club. Befitting the squad’s depth and consistency of scoring in the low-to-mid
80s, the team’s four counting scores could be covered by a golf towel.
Will Bennett
led the way with an 83. Carlo Fricano – who had carded a 78 at Pine Hills on
Aug. 5 – shot an 84. Hayden Weaver fired an 85. Ethan Mylett carded an 86,
edging fellow senior Mac Milenius (87) for the fourth and final slot in a round
that marked an end to their prep careers.
St. Ignatius
logged a four-man score of 290 to lead the list of four qualifying teams (Hoban,
Walsh, Brunswick) now headed to the state championship in Columbus (Ohio State
University Scarlet Course, Oct. 18-19). The Wildcats’ Andrew Wyss was Monday’s
medalist, carding a 5-under 67.
“I’m proud
of this group,” said Head Coach David Hendrickson of his 2019 Great Lakes
Conference champion team. “They always support each other and give their best.”
