OHS Golf Team Wins Non-Conference Match With MCC Levi Capper shot his way to Match Medalist and team lowman at tonight's
match against MCC at The Heathlands. Shooting one stroke less then team
mate Parker Johnson who carded a 39, Levi turned in a 38 for his round
on the back nine. Drew Griswold logged in a 42 for his round and Jake
Matthews contributed to the team score with his 47. This gave OHS a team
effort of 166 for the win. MCC turned in a team effort of 181 at match
end. Jordan Pomeroy had a rough night, with double bogies carding a 51,
Tim Veverica also struggled some turning in a 53. Todd Lyman shot 54 and
Derek Rosen a 61. Zac and Donny did not finish due to darkness. |
Onekama returned the hospitality that MCC has always shown us, with a
sloppy joe dinner after the match. Mr. and Mrs.Lyman served up sloppy
joes, a vegetable and fruit tray and plenty of cookies to a very hungry
group of golfers. It definitely warmed the soul after the chill of the
night air had set in. The Portagers are right there knocking on the door of that school team record. All they need is for just four of the team members to all shoot in the low 40's and high 30's at the same match to blow it open. They have several that are capable, and do shoot those low scores. Hopefully, they can put it all together for one huge team effort and nail it. Today's win now has them sitting pretty with a 17-4 record to date. Their only losses coming from matches with Brethren/Bearlake (3)and Manistee High (1). Reported by Gwen Smith Photos were taken by Gwen and Coach Zadow September 21, 2006 |
