Golfers tee up for first time at home invitational
Sports reporter
The weather didn't cooperate with the Hillsboro Trojans golf team Friday, but that didn't stop Justin Kent and Andrew Bina.
Both golfers brought home medals in the shortened nine-hole, opening-season tournament. Kent finished tied for first with Marion's Travis Hett after shooting a 39, but settled for second place because of a scorecard tie-break. Bina's 42 was good enough to tie four other golfers in fifth place, but the senior finished eighth also because of a tie-break.
In addition to the individual scores, the tournament was broken into six, four, and two-man teams. Hillsboro's six-man team of Bina, Kent, Elliot Soyez, Darren Enns, Zach Manguson, and Daniel Miller was sixth out of nine with a total score of 291. Kent, Enns, Magnuson, and Miller combined to shoot 206, and take seventh place out of 10 in the four-man team. The two-man duo of Kent and Soyez gave the Trojans a first-place finish out of nine teams. Soyez's round of 43 coupled with Kent's score gave the Trojans a five-shot cushion against second-place St. Johns Military.
HHS will tee off next April 21, when they travel to Wichita to play at Hidden Lakes.
