Frankfort and Onekama
at Pinecroft in Beulah

August 31, 2005

Frankfort and Onekama go head to head again in yet another extremely close match. This year it played out at Pinecroft in Beulah. The scenery there is gorgeous, but the course ,oh ,so challenging. ( Remember last year at the Heathlands when we had them beat 2 different ways, but an error of shooting a wrong ball and not caught in time caused a DQ and a loss by 2 strokes?).This year,Our Portagers stepped up to the task at hand and turned in some awesome individual scores. Match Medalist was OHS's Jordan Pomeroy shooting a 44. Freshman Levi Capper turned in a 46! Josh Cebula scored 55 and Parker Johnson a 57 for a team score of 202. Also shooting, but not factored into the score were Todd Lyman with 58 and Drew Griswold with 61.

While OHS had the Match medalist and another score of 46 on their cards, Frankfort's scoring 4 produced scores a little tighter and pulled off a team score of 194 to edge out OHS. Their low man, Jack Wilband shot a 46, Wiley Heller a 47, John Bower 49 and Nolan Clement 52. Leland does not have a team as was previously reported and were not there today.

The Frankfort boosters fed the teams Hot dogs, beans and dessert after the match as they did last year as well as gave accolades to the OHS team members for their excellent sportsmanship and behavior before, during and after the match. The Frankfort coach wished them well through out the rest of their season and commented on their excellent golf abilities. Today's match now puts the team at 2-0 in the WMD and 2-2 Overall. We are just getting warmed up here folks! Stay tuned for further developments of this rising stars team. Better yet, pop on over to the Heathlands tomorrow, 9-1-05, and cheer them on as they play Mesick. (Photos by Coach Zadow)
