Norwich

APALACHIN, Ny - On Tuesday, October 6, the Norwich varsity golf team traveled to The Links at Hiawatha Landing in Apalachin, Ny to compete in the Class B tournament. Norwich would tie with Susquehanna Valley for first place with an overall team score of 410, but would be bumped to second after a tie breaker.

In the Class B tournament the tie breaker works by taking the strokes from the first hole played and tallying them to form a total score. After this was done it was determined that Susquehanna Valley had a lower score than Norwich and won the tie breaker 20-21. "It was a heart breaker," said Norwich Coach David Branham. "We played really well and I'm very proud of the kids."

Finishing with the best overall score for the Purple Tornado were Ryan Johnson and Brenon Maynard, both of which shot a 77 on the day. Johnson and Maynard both earned medals and placed, tying for the third best score on the day. Also finishing in the top ten were Nate Scheer and Alex Gage. Scheer shot an 83 and finished with the seventh best score of the tournament, earning himself a medal, while Gage tallied an 85 and finished 10.

Norwich beat out five other teams in the class to place second on a day where three athletes would finish in the top ten.
