BLUFFTON — Jay County went 1-1 Tuesday as it played what was, in effect, a warm-up for Saturday’s sectional tournament.

The Patriots scored a 232 at Timber Ridge Golf Course, where they will return Saturday for sectional action with a scheduled tee time of 11:20 a.m.

Southern Wells had the best score at the three-team meet with a 210, and Blackford finished at 239.

Liz Lewellen of Southern Wells was the match medalist with a 48.

Trisha Champ had the best score of the match with a 51 for Jay County although she went through an up-and-down day. She opened with a bogey and a par on the first two holes, but then went triple-bogey, double-bogey, double-bogey on the next three.

She bounced back for a par on the 112-yard, par-3 sixth and also played the 424-yard, par-5 seventh even, but struggled on the next par-3. She needed 10 strokes to finish the 151-yard, par-3 eighth hole before bouncing back for a par on the 338-yard, par-4 ninth to finish her round.
