Wahama golfers improve to 3-1 in TVC Hocking
BEVERLY, Ohio — The young Wahama High School White Falcon Golf Team traveled to the Oxbow Golf Course near Beverely, Ohio on Thursday afternoon to play their counterparts from Federal Hocking High School. The golf course was difficult due in part to the summer heat and rain, but, the White Falcons came away with their 3rd conference win in 4 attempts this fledgling season.
Sophomore Dakota Sisk and senior Matt Arnold, who just recently joined the Wahama team, led the scoring for the victors with 46 strokes each. Another sophomore, Samuel Gordon, followed the medalists with a 48. Junior Kevin Back contributed a 50 to account for the last score in the play 6, count 4 format. Freshmen Michael Hendricks and Morgan Nottingham also played for the White Falcons, but their scores of 53 and 54 respectively were not included in the teams final total of 190.
Coach Jim Moabs’ inexperienced Federal Hocking team was led in scoring by TJ Clemmons and Brandon Russell who both shot 57 for the match. Shane Gillian was just a stroke behind with a 58 and Austin Russell provided a 60 for the final score counting in the team total of 232. Steven Coen and Zach Kiddur scores of 62 and 64 were not part of the final team total.
Even though the course conditions were less than desireable, the White Falcon team picked up valuable experience that should help them in future matches. The future comes quickly as the Wahama team must travel to the Forest Hills Golf Course on Monday, August 23, to play Trimble High School. After their first day of school and a long trip, the White Falcons will need all the experience they have obtained to achieve their 4th conference victory.
