Gray leads Patriot golfers (04/18/08)

BLUFFTON - The Patriots didn't score nearly as well as a team. But they did enough to pick up their first dual meet win.

Adam Gray was the only player to score better than 45 at Timber Ridge Golf Course, leading the Jay County High School boys golf team to a 185-189 victory over the Bluffton Tigers.

Gray had the only birdie of the day for JCHS, which shot 168 Wednesday, and it came on the 319-yard, par-4 opening hole. He added five pars - matching entire Tiger team total - including three straight to close his round at a 3-over-par 39.

Chase Wellman posted the No. 2 score for the Patriots as he totaled three pars for a 45.

Bluffton's top golfer, Jason Cook, also shot 45.

Adam Horn and Jonathan Fennig each had two pars for rounds of 50 and 51 respectively for JCHS. Kyle Wellman shot a 53.
