The varsity Panther boys came up on the short end of things Tuesday in their Three Rivers Conference Tournament at Emerald Hill Golf Course in Sterling. The Panthers 355, four-man total was only 17 strokes out of first but resulted in a seventh place finish of twelve teams participating.
Rockridge won the event with 338 strokes as they were led by medalist Hudson Connelly’s 78 and runner-up Brayden Oakes at 80. Hall was second as a team at 345.
Junior, Gavin VanDyke earned first team All-Conference recognition with an 8th place 85. Fellow junior, Callen Keegan was second team as he tied for 10th place with an 86. Grayson Johnston’s 91 and Sawyer Copeland 93 finished the team scoring for the Panthers. Freshmen Brevin VanDyke had a 96 and Brady Timmerman a 100 to complete the EP squad.
The team will compete in an IHSA Regional next Wednesday against many of the same teams and hope to move out of there down the State trail. The undefeated dual meet squad travels to Mendota Wednesday to compete against the Trojans.
