Soggy conditions didn’t affect Independence during the Blue Devils’ 174-209 win over host West Geauga at Fowler’s Mill Golf Course on Tuesday.
All four of the Blue Devils’ golfers shot 45 or better in the win.
“There was a downpour prior to us playing so there was standing water all over and the rough was really wet and high,” said Independence coach Mark Echstenkamper. My kids haven’t seen that course before but they played well. That’s a good score on a tough course.”
Andrew Teribery won medalist honors with a 40. Sam Spacagna carded a 44 and both Carson Bianco and Ryan Zygmunt finished with 45.
Teribery credited his short game for his success during the match.
“My putting was a weapon today on fast greens,” he said. “The team looked great today. “We won the match and came in with a nice team score.”
Independence is out of the hunt for the Chagrin Valley Conference Valley Division title, leaving them focused on preparing for the postseason.
“I talked to them about that today,” Echstenkamper said. “Our next goal is sectionals. That’s what we’ve got to build toward and that’s what our objective is right now, to get ready for sectionals.”
The Blue Devils host Harvey on Wednesday and Perry on Thursday.
