Four teams were locked in a battle for just three State Finals spots in an ultra-competitive local golf regional Friday which remained dry in Noble County despite the driving rain to the south that plagued the area, especially as the evening barreled toward football kickoffs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Northridge edged DeKalb by a single stroke for the regional trophy and it went to the fifth score to settle who would advance between long-time rivals Homestead and Carroll. The Spartans’ Kamryn Nevins’ score of 90 was enough to give Homestead the edge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chargers were buoyed by the low score of medalist Taylor Larkins, who shot +1 and was tied after 18 holes with NorthWood’s Sophie Richmond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abbie Peterson escaped as the final individual. The Warsaw player shot 77. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

East Noble’s Lilly Oburn was the tough-luck loser. Her score of 78 would have been good enough to advance had Carroll won the tiebreak over Homestead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Locally, South Adams shot 435, just behind Southern Wells (433) and Bluffton (416). Norwell finished 10th with a 385. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Adams Scores: Julia Arnold 100, Brooklyn Green 112, Megan Yoder 111, Kendall Minger 136, Nora Ringger 112<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It wasn’t a fun day to play golf,” noted SA coach Chris Toledo. “The wind was as fierce as the competition. Noble Hawk was a fantastic host but a tough place for new golfers. Placement of the ball was key to a good score.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toledo noted the collective pride of local coaches as four of the seven schools in the ACAC competed Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bellmont’s Ella Hockemeyer shot 44 on the front nine, but struggled midway through the back nine and finished with a respectable 95. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smith was the very first player off the first tee in the morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Londyn finished her freshman season well,” pointed out coach Nick Smith. “Medalist in her final five meets of the regular season and ACAC medalist is a great way to finish out the season.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
