Boys golf finishes fourth in MAC

CELINA, Ohio — The Indians wanted to improve in the Midwest Athletic Conference.

This year, a fourth-place finish in the MAC tournament and fourth in the regular season, propelled the Indians to a fourth-overall finish in the MAC.

The Fort Recovery High School boys golf team shot a 330 at the MAC tournament on Saturday morning at Celina Lynx Golf Club to finish fourth.

Last season, Fort Recovery (7-7, 5-4 MAC) was seventh in the MAC regular season with a record of 3-6. They placed fifth in the tournament for sixth overall in the MAC. 

The St. John’s Blue Jays won the tournament with 310 strokes, but Minster’s undefeated regular season and second-place (311) secured them the MAC title.

Colin Feathers was the MAC Player of the Year, but Coldwater’s Ben Giere was the tournament medalist with a 70. Feathers finished with a 75.

Second team All-MAC player Reece LeFevre led the Indians with 79 strokes in the match. He had three birdies in the match, all on par-4s. They came on holes No. 6, 14 and 18.

Fellow second team member Eli Lennartz earned the No. 2 score for the Indians with an 81. He only had one birdie on the par-5 13th hole.

The final Tribe golfer to be named to the second team, Keegan Muhlenkamp, posted the third-best score of 84 strokes. Muhlenkamp also birdied the 15th.

Nate Jutte posted the final qualifying score for the Indians when he shot an 86.

Alex Dues had 89 strokes while Matthew Romer shot 94. Neither player’s score contributed to the team’s final.

Dues and Jutte both were listed as All-MAC honorable mentions.
