BLUFFTON __ The Ada High School golf team swept a triangular match Wednesday, September 18, at the Bluffton Golf Club.
Ada edged Riverdale 203-205, and decisively beat Pandora-Gilboa 203-247.
The Bulldogs finished 10-4 in dual and tri-matches this season, their best such record in years.
Sophomore Brody Rister shot a 48 to lead Ada and finish second overall. Sophomore Lawson Klingler carded a career-best round of 49 to shoot second for the Bulldogs.
Senior Ethan Lawrence posted a 52, and junior Sam Crawford registered a round of 54.
Freshman Grady Morgan added a 66.
Falcon Nathan Alge posted a 40 to earn match medalist honors.
“It was a great team win,” said Ada head coach Kurt Klingler. “While Lawson shot a PR, everyone else was around their season average.
“None of the guys are satisfied with their scores, but I’m excited they feel that way going into the BVC tourney Friday, and then sectionals next Thursday,” he noted. “They know we can play better as a team, and I am looking forward to watching it.”
The third of three Blanchard Valley Conference tournaments is Friday, Sept. 20 at Moose Landing Country Club in Kalida.
