Golf team sixth at Sectionals, Nick breaks school-record with 69

The Varsity golf team went in to the Sectionals on Friday understanding that they would need to shoot better than they did at the conference meet. The team did, but unfortunately not by enough. Starting on the back nine, the team struggled out of the gate with a 171 on the back nine. Nick, Austin, and Brandin kept it together pretty well even with the score being the way that it was. The front nine was flat out amazing. Led by Nick Herndon's 33 on the front, the team scored a 151 on that side to have a team total of 327. A 327 was good enough for sixth place. The story of the day was Nick Herndon's 69, which by the way is the NEW school-record. Nick's score was tied for medalist with Michael Sharp of East Noble. Nick lost on the extra hole with a par to Sharp's birdie. Homestead won the Sectional with a 292, Carroll shot 305, DeKalb shot 316 to round out the top three and will move on to Regionals at Orchard Ridge on Thursday. As individuals, Michael Sharp and Bennett Rieke will join Nick at the Regionals.

Also scoring well for Fremont was Austin Corcimiglia with a 79, Brandin Ross shot 88, Jordon Schmucker shot 91 (55-36 splits), and Tyler Jenkins shot 94.
