HUNTSBURG—Wickliffe golfers collected three of the top four scores to pull out a 184-188 win over host Cardinal at Rolling Green Golf Course on Wednesday.
Billy Thomas led the Blue Devils with a 42.
“Billy Thomas continues to play very well and was a huge part of this win,” said Wickliffe coach Nick Gallo. “He is driving the ball long and straight and once we clean up his short game he will be dangerous.”
Andrew Michalski contributed to the win with a 45 while Nick Colbert and Ty Strom finished with a 48 and 49, respectively.
Cardinal’s Virginia Travers won medalist honors with a match-low 41, her career low from the men’s tees.
“She came out in her first match very strong,” said Cardinal coach Glenn Travers.
Jonathan Heredos and Kevin Hammitt both finished with 48 while Daniel Heredos carded a 51 for the Huskies.
Despite the loss the Huskies had some celebrating to do after breaking the 200 mark for the first time.
“We’ve never been below 200,” Coach Travers said. “We set the goal last year for 201 and we reached 206. To come out in our first league match at 188, that’s good improvement. The kids really stepped up. The work they put in over the summer is starting to show. I’m proud of the team. I know some of them didn’t shoot their best or their average, but to come out in the first match and shoot better than we ever have just shows how much work they put in over the summer.”
