Dietz Breaks School Record in Trojans Sectional Championship
SIDNEY- On a beautiful Tuesday at the Shelby Oaks Golf Club, 14 area teams battled in an 18-hole tournament to determine District III sectional champions and to find out which teams and individuals advanced to districts.
The Botkins Trojans took an eight stroke victory over the rest of the field with their team score of 310. Their top scores were Ross Dietz, who shot a 64 to break his own school record and was two strokes off from a course record. Carson Heuker (77), Treg Meyer (84) and Will Monnin (85) also contributed to the team score, while Will Dietz rounded out the team with a round of 86.
“Today we brought everything together,” Botkins Head Coach Brett Meyer said. “We played really strong until a couple weeks ago, but I knew if we could stick together we could play really well,” Meyer added. “Ross shoots a 64 so that’s a good start and Carson came in with his 77, and our freshmen kept it together for the entire round today. I’m very happy with our outcome today.”
The Russia Raiders finished in second place in the contest with their score of 318. The Raiders were led by Leo Counts (75), Vince Borchers (78), Braylon Cordonnier (80) and Michael Voisard (85).
Fort Loramie finished five strokes behind Russia with its score of 323. They were led by Beau Shafer (71), Jack Cotner (81), Wade Holthaus (84) and Chase Bornhorst (87).
The Division III district tournament is scheduled for Monday, Sept 30th at Pipestone Golf Club in Miamisburg at 9 a.m.
