FRHS tops Tigers

Eli Lennartz struggled out the gate in 2023. His return to form led the Indians to victory.

Lennartz shot a team-low to power the Fort Recovery High School boys golf team to a 170-192 against Midwest Athletic Conference-rival, the Versailles Tigers, on Thursday at Portland Golf Club.

Lennartz shot a 39, which was four-over par. He shot pars on the 10th, 12th and 17th hole and birdied the par-4 11th hole, and never shot higher than a bogey.

He earned the match medalist, topping Brayden Wagner and Gabe White who both shot 42 for the Tigers.

Nate Jutte also shot a 42 for the Indians (2-2, 2-0 MAC). Jutte’s highlight came on the 17th with a three-stroke birdie.

Matthew Romer shot for par once en route to his 44.

Both shooting 45s for the Indians were Reece LeFevre and Alex Dues to round out Fort Recovery’s score. The pair combined for seven pars.

Keegan Muhlenkamp’s 46 was lower than the rest of the Tigers’ scores, but didn’t contribute to the team score.

Versailles didn’t have enough players for a team score, but Mason Diller shot the best score among all JV players. Diller shot one par and five bogeys in the match to earn a 47.

Reece Evers (48), Colson Post (49) and Sage Wendel (54) all shot better than Versailles top golfer by two strokes or more.
