Tornado second at Class B Championships following tie-breaker decision; Maynard claims individual title
APALACHIN – The dominate golfers hailing from Norwich high school traveled with their head coach, David Branham, to The Links at Hiawatha for their biggest showdown to date in 2016.
The Class B Championships stood waiting for the six Norwich golfers: Alex Gage, Nate Scheer, Brenon Maynard, Ryan Johnson, Griffin Clipston, and A.J. Little.
The Tornado boys, already producing an impressive 11-1 league record, looking to continue that domination at the championships, and they did just that.
The production from the Norwich golfers on the day produced a tournament low 390-points. However, despite securing the team low, Norwich would be accompanied at 390 by Seton Catholic as well.
With both teams entered into a team tie at 390 – leading third place team Susquehanna Valley by five at 395 – it was in fact The Saints of Seton Catholic who emerged Class B Champions as a team following a tie-breaker decision. The decision was made after adding all player scores on each hole up, giving Norwich a 22 to Seton Catholic's 21.
Despite the team loss, to get to the tie-breaker and earn a second place finish is no mere walk in the park. Norwich saw some of its best golf played at Hiawatha. And with some great performances comes recognition of the hard work and dedication put in.
Norwich senior, Brenon Maynard finished in the top ten – one of four Norwich golfers to do so – however, the difference between Maynard and the other golfers is that he finished in first place, taking home an individual Class B Championship with a tournament low score of just 69 strokes.
Norwich senior Ryan Johnson finished one stroke behind second with his 74 on the day, followed at 75 by Alex Gage, and with Nate Scheer finishing in sixth with a 76 stroke day. Griffin Clipston would not finish in the top 10, but would produced a respectable 96 stroke day.
Despite the individual successes and the STAC Championship that awaits Norwich, coach Branham explained the heartfelt one-point loss his team had suffered saying, “We all were pretty quiet on bus home.”
The Norwich golfers now will enjoy a weekend to regroup before moving forward in the post-season as they will next travel to Cornell to play in the STAC Championship this coming Tuesday, Oct. 11.
