HOMESTEAD 160, WARSAW 172

In less than ideal golf conditions, Homestead made the most of the opportunity.

In a constant rain at Chestnut Hills Golf Club, Homestead danced through the drops to shoot a 160 to best Warsaw’s 172 in the boys golf matchup Thursday afternoon.

Cal Hoskins paced the Tigers with a 41 with both Zach LaLonde and Ben Brander both at 42 and the threesome of Jack Yeager, Tucker Carlile and Chase Byron all carding 47.

Homestead had Klayton Davis shoot a fine round of 39 to lead the Spartans.

The Warsaw JV bested Homestead by one stroke, 189-190. Will Hall led the visitors with a 45, followed closely by Lewis Turley at 46 and Seth Hildebrand at 48.

Warsaw will have its varsity play again Saturday at the Lake Central Invite and the JV to Plymouth for the Plymouth Invite.

CMA WINS 6-WAY AT PLYMOUTH

Culver Academy also fired a 160 to top all competitors at Pretty Lake Golf Club.

Plymouth was second at 167, followed by South Bend Adams (170), Triton (173), Winamac (180) and Bremen (213).

Triton’s Cole McKinney was the medalist from the mini, shooting an even 36 highlighted by a pair of birdies on one and three to open his nine-hole round. There were only six birdies achieved in the entire event.

Culver’s AJ Davidson and Josh Bellin both shot 39, as did Adams’ Ben Thoman to finish as co-runners up.

Triton’s scores came in from a 44 from Keegan Westafer, 46 from Beau Hepler and 47 from John Gardner.

In the JV ledger, CMA also took honors with a 174, followed by Triton at 189 in the six-teamer.

Hudson Carmouche, Matt Peterson and Constantine Dames – all of CMA – all shot 43 to lead the junior card. Triton had two 46s from Brock Watkins and Carter Kuntz, a 47 from Connor Large and 50 from Bruce Johnson.
