Area high school golf teams competed in league tournaments Monday.
Uniontown High’s Eagles and Marmaton Valley High’s Wildcats were in Pleasanton at the Three Rivers League tournament. The 18-hole event was played on the Deer Trace Golf Course at Linn Valley.
Eagle head coach Jason Tourtillott said the course was wet from the Sunday night rain storms. A slight mist continued until golfers reached the third hole Monday morning.
“I thought our kids did a good job overall but definitely could have played better,” Tourtillott said. “Seth Sympson did a really nice job of managing the course. The other kids found some trouble with out-of-bounds, chipping and putting.”
Sympson shot a personal-best 94 as the seventh-place medalist. He led the Eagles to a fifth-place finish with a 431. Jayhawk-Linn won the TRL team championship with a 353. The Jayhawks’ Jaden Proffitt and Reece Dawson shot 82s to go first and second, respectively.
Marmaton Valley finished fourth with a team total of 429. Chance Stev-enson paced the Wildcats with a 100 and Mitch Covey shot a 102. Mike Swift finished with a 109 and Lane Hamm had a 118.
Other MVHS scores were Austin Pinkerton, 127, and Joey Jefferis, 129.
Uniontown’s Zach Travis carded a 109 while teammates Chance Hoener and Brenden Wood each had a 114. Drew George came in at 122.
YATES CENTER High’s Wildcats “had a tough day at Burlington” in the Tri-Valley League golf tournament, according to YCHS head coach Kevin Barnes.
Yates Center placed fifth in the team standings with a 492. Eureka took the team championship with a score of 319. Levi Lenard of Burlington shot a 72 to claim the TVL individual championship.
Nick Schemper led the Wildcats with a 100 and Dylan Bauman had 104. Richie Mentzer shot a 127 and Mason Hartwig came in at 161.
There was no report from the Humboldt High on how the Cub gofers fared at the TVL tournament.
