Chagrin Falls, Orange headed to the district tournament

Chagrin Falls won the Division II Quail Hollow Sectional title and Orange finished among the top three at the Division II Bunker Hill Sectional tournament and will join the Tigers at the district tournament next week.

Perry’s Garrett Rupert (11th, 83), Jake Cubbison (19th, 87), and Carson Caldwell (20th, 88), and Edgewood’s Mason Feather (14th, 85) and Jimmy Johnston (15th, 86) all placed among the top 20.

Orange finished second at Bunker Hill.

The Lions shot 342, just 13 strokes behind sectional champion Gilmour Academy. Beachwood fell nine strokes short of the third district qualifying spot but CVCA edged them 348-357. Lutheran West finished 10th with 401 strokes.

Beachwood’s James O’Neill advanced to the district tournament as an individual after he tied Orange’s Dillon Fellinger for medalist honors with a 78.
