Shawver paced the Jay County golf team for the second straight meet with a 38 as it defeated the Randolph Southern Rebels 161-187 Tuesday on the Pony 9 at Winchester Golf Club.
The victory improved the Patriots to 11-0 in dual meets this year with just three left to play.
Shawver, who shot a 34 last week against Muncie Burris, was 2-over-par through the first two holes Tuesday. But, he quickly pulled even again with birdies on the on the 298-yard, par-4 third hole and the 520-yard, par-5 fourth.
He bogied No. 5 and 6, but then finished with three consecutive pars for his 2-over round.
Jay County No. 1 player Tyler Johnston was not far behind the team’s lone senior, as he also scored a pair of birdies and three pars on the way to a 39. He matched Shawver’s birdie on the fourth hole, and finished his round with a birdie on the 320-yard, par-4 ninth.
Alex Hunt finished with five pars on the way to a 40, and Adam Foster had four pars to finish with a 43. Nathan McClung finished with a 44 as all the Patriot players finished ahead of Randolph Southern’s top pair.
Wes Frame and Travis Ogden each shot 45 for the Rebels.
Jay County will visit Union City Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
Ben Freeman and Josh Thornburg each shot 41 to lead the Patriot JV team to a 170-233 victory over Randolph Southern. Gray Suman had a 43, Adam Arnold shot a 45 and James Brosher finished with a 47.
Sours, St. Myers advance
