Orange, Independence, and Geneva kicked off the high school golf season in style on Monday by claiming divisional titles at the Chagrin Valley Conference preseason tournament.
At Little Mountain Country Club, Orange edged Hawken, 332-335, to win the Chagrin Division title and Geneva won the Valley Division with 333 strokes. Independence won the Metro Division at Pine Hills with a score of 343.
Orange’s Jack Stover and Chagrin Falls’ Charlie Pollock both shot 73 to claim medalist honors in the Chagrin Division.
“Today, I started out bad but as the day went on I feel like I got better,” Stover said. “There was not one thing I struggled with through the day.”
Independence’s Mark Pillar shot a 75 to win medalist honors in the Metro Division and Ayden Richmond carded a 74 to lead the pack in the Valley Division.
