Facing one of the top teams in the state of Indiana, the Bellmont Braves turned in a second consecutive 155 team score, but it was not enough as the Leo Lions posted an exception, school record-breaking total of just 139 strokes on the back nine holes at Cross Creek Wednesday evening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t play defense in golf, so kudos to Leo,\u201d said Bellmont assistant Mike Macke. \u201cWe are happy with our score and how the boys played. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the second night in a row that Leo got a 32 and a 34 from their top two players, Justin Hicks and Wes Oplinger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey ended up throwing out a 39,\u201d noted Macke. \u201cThat\u2019s pretty impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winston Brown led the Braves with an even-par 36, his fifth consecutive round of being at par or under.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Owen Minnick returned from an off night (40 on Tuesday) to shoot par, as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bryce Rickord continued his steady play with a 41. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“If he continue to stay in that 38-42 range for us, he will give us the solid third score we need to win most nights.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two teams will play again in the Leo Invite Saturday at Noble Hawk.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe look to put in a good 18-hole tournament round,\u201d said Macke. \u201cWe want to keep up this improvement we have shown.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Braves junior varsity team will host Adams Central\u2019s varsity Thursday on the Majorki at Cross Creek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
