MASON, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant High School varsity golf team was not as sharp as usual Thursday evening in a tri-match against their counterparts from Belpre and Wahama High Schools.

The match between Belpre and Wahama was a Tri-Valley Conference match.

Freshman Denver Thomas playing in his first ever varsity match added a 44 for the match. Evan Potter provided the 4th score that counted for the winners shooting a 46. Travis Grimm and Justin Cavender also played for Point Pleasant with their scores not included in the total.
Freshman Brennan Ferrell shot 37 to lead the young men from Belpre. Both Todd Griffith and Bryce Henger contributed matching scores of 43 while Natalie Perry added the 4th score by shooting a 46 for the contest. The scores from Jesse Whitington and Blake McDaniel were not added in the final tally.

Kevin Back added a 46 followed by Samuel Gordon's 48 and freshman Michael MacKnight had 49 for the final score that counted in the team total. Preston Wodnall also played for Wahama in his first ever varsity match. Neither Preston's score nor that of Matt Arnold were included in the final count.

Lady Eagles beat Lady Marauders
POMEROY, Ohio — The golf teams from Eastern and Meigs battled it out at Kountry Hills Golf Course in Pomeroy, Ohio, on Thursday night with Eastern claiming the nine point victory.
