Cardinal’s golf team played its best 18-hole round of the season at Monday’s Chagrin Valley Conference postseason tournament.
The Huskies finished with a 374 to finish fourth behind Kirtland, Independence and Wickliffe. Rival Berkshire finished fifth.
“The kids got better every match,” said Cardinal coach Glenn Travers. “We kind of looked at the leaderboard with our eyes wide open. It was good to see everybody so proud of how the team came in and beating Berkshire. That’s a moral victory for us.”
Jonathan Heredos led the Huskies with an 89, which tied him for sixth place overall. He also earned enough points to be named first team All-CVC.
Anthony Sinito finished with a 92, Mitchell Samas fired off a 93 and Kevin Hammitt carded a 94.
Virginia Travers, who entered the tournament in position to earn all-conference honors, finished with a 98 while Daniel Heredos came in with a 102.
“Going into today, Virginia was fifth in CVC points,” Coach Travers said. “She scored 65 out of 72 available points and rocked it out all season. Jonathan was right behind her. He came in with and 89 and Virginia’s 98 knocked her out of first and second team. It comes down to one tournament, one 18, but you’ve got to bring it. She just didn’t have her A game for some reason. It wasn’t even a bad round. She shoots 90 and she’s in the first team as a girl.”
The Huskies open postseason play next week. The boys travel to Quail Hollow for the sectional tournament while Virginia Travers will play in the girls’ sectional tournament at Punderson Golf Course.
