Braves fall in 2nd Match of Season
Maconaquah Boys Golf traveled for the second match versus Oak Hill to Arbor Trace Golf Club in Marion, IN. This was a rescheduled match from April 8th.
The wind proved to be of great challenge for our Braves, but Camron Metcalf went low for Maconaquah with a 45. Cody Miller and Aiden Robinson played as #2 and #3 and recorded scores of 53. Zach Duke played as the #4 and came in with a 54. Cartsen Hollars saw improvement from the first round and shot a 56. The overall team score was a 205.
Oak Hill did not have enough golfers for a JV squad, so Jakob Grant, Kyle Bockover, and Wyatt Swift played against each other.
The Varsity returns to action Saturday April 20th as they travel to Logansport for an 18 hole Invitational starting at 8:00am.
