Consistent Jay County golfers still perfect (04/30/04)
Jay County Roundup
Call them consistent.
The Jay County golfers posted a trio of 39s Thursday in a 157-163 victory over the host Blackford Bruins. The Patriots stayed perfect at 6-0 with the win.
Returning after a two-match lay-off, No. 1 player Tyler Johnston shared in a four-way tie for match medalist honors with a 39. He sat out the other two matches this week with back soreness.
Matching Johnston’s 39 were Adam Foster — who shot a 34 in his absence Tuesday — and Alex Hunt. Chris Mays of Blackford also got into the act with a 39.
Scores didn’t vary much in the match, with just three separating the best score from the worst.
Nathan McClung rounded out the Patriots’ varsity score with a 40, and Jesse Shawver shot a 42.
The Bruins posted a pair of 41s and 42s in losing by six.
The junior varsity match was even closer, with Jay County losing the tiebreaker in a 189-189 tie.
With the top four golfers from each team totaling matching scores, the tie was broken by the No. 5 JV players. Wes Ford had a 53 for Blackford, compared to Chris Shannon’s 57 for the Patriots.
Leading Jay County was junior Josh Thornburg with a personal-best 39. Ben Freeman shot a 46, Gray Suman posted a 47 and Travis Smith notched a 57.
The Patriots will play in the Winchester Invitational Saturday.
