BOYS' GOLF
No. 1: Indian Hill and Anderson By Joe Minster Post contributor
In a pair of surprises, Anderson won the Division I Cincinnati east sectional high school golf championship and Indian Hill won the Division II sectional title Friday at the Glenview course. A balanced attack carried Anderson to a seven-stroke victory, 311-to-318, over Lakota, with Princeton third at 324 and Turpin fourth at 336 to earn berths in Thursday's Southwestern Ohio district meet at Weatherwax course in Middletown. "We're peaking at the right time," said Anderson coach Mike Loudenslager. Anderson's Matt Pearce shot a 3-over-par 37-38-75 to share the day's medalist honors with Kyle Elfers of Turpin and David Kreitzer of Indian Hill. Peter Spaeth scored 77, Chris Tatum 78 and Kirk Hathaway 81 to help Anderson win over favored Turpin and Moeller, which finished a disappointing seventh. Elfers, a senior, had the best nine-hole round of the day, closing with a 2-underpar 34 after taking an automatic two-shot penalty for a
double-bogey six on No. 4 when his shot bounced off a tree root and hit him in the chest. Birdies on Nos. 11, 12 and 14 featured his comeback 34 after he fired a 41 on the opening nine. Indian Hill, coached by Bob West, beat out runner-up Hamilton Badin by 16 strokes, 327-to-343, in Division II, with Loveland taking third at 349. DIVISION I EAST TEAM SCORES: 1, Anderson 311 (Matt Pearce 3738-75, Pete< Spaeth 39-38-77, Chris Tatum 40-38-78, Kirk Hathaway 38-43--81, Rob Morgan 41-41-82). 2, Lakota 318 (Ryan Merkel41-36-77, Tee McCabe 39-4079, Stave Miltenberger 39-40-79, Ke~h Hyatt 43-40-83, Jeff Ronek 51-41-92). 3, Princeton 324 (Casey Wiseman 40-40-80, Eric Lohmueller 36-42-80, Anthony Hille 4140-81, Joe Ramirez 43-40-83, Jeff Morris 47 -42-89);. 4, Turpin (Kyle Elfers 41-34-75, Andy Sanders 36-40-78, Justin Bonomini 48-43-91, Tim Murphy 48-44--92, Cari Margraf 47-47-94). 5, Milford 340. 6, Glen Este 341. 7, Moeller 345. 8, Roger Bacon 349. 9, Sycamore 352. 10, Amelia 363. 11, Walnut Hills 392. 12, Norwood 399. 13, New Richmond 399. 14, Western Brown 403. 15, Purcell Marian 427.

Crusaders overcome adversity BY DAVE SCHUTTE

Enquirer contributor
The morning after was agonizing for Todd Kahle. Guilty of signing an incorrect scorecard that cost the Moeller golf team a first-ever Greater Catholic League South championship, Kahle wasn't ready to face the critics at school last Tuesday. In fact, less than 30 minutes after waking up, Kahle was greeted with a report in The Enquirer that revealed the 18-yearold's mistake in the 36-hole tournament at Weatherwax. Reality sunk in again at school where students stood around the hallways discussing the unfortunate incident, often wondering out loud how Kahle could have let it happen. "Everyone on the team was real supportive and told me it could have happened to anyone," Kahle said. "It's horrible to win, then lose. Only a couple of the students were nasty about it.' Many questioned if the team could handle this adversity. Even veteran coach Rich Bohne, who was flooded with questions from the faculty, wondered if the team could rebound.

The Crusaders silenced the critics on Saturday in resounding fashion, winning the prestigious Dick Hadley Memorial Classic at Weatherwax. The field included every top 10 team from Cincinnati, including No. 1 Turpin. This achievement earned Moeller The Enquirer's Team of the Week honors. The Crusaders finished second in the Enquirer coaches' poll behind Turpin. The Crusaders also won the Moeller Invitational and took second at the Muirfield Classic. "We returned five starters and I thought we would be pretty good this season," Bohne said. "The three seniors have had good seasons and provided the leadership

which we expected." Ryan Rieckhoff led the way for the Crusaders, averaging a careerbest 37.8 strokes for nine holes, including a team-low 78 at the Hadley Classic. "I got off to a good start during the summer and played well in most tournaments," Rieckhoff said. "In August, I was tired and my game slipped but I stepped it up once the high school season started." Besides Rieckhoff, every Crusader golfer captured medalist honors at least once. The Crusaders were 12-2 in dual meets. "Ryan has been outstanding," Bohne said. "His game has matured as he matured. He's the catalyst who has provided the lead-
ership we needed this season.'' Moeller's losses were to St. Xavier and Turpin but Rieckhoff was playing in a national tournament when the Crusaders collided with St. X in late August. Kahle sat out with a back injury in the Turpin match. "We're undefeated with all the players in the lineup," Bohne said. "But that's not to say that we would have beaten St. X or Turpin. Both are fine teams that played well against us." Senior Brian Arlinghaus along with juniors Nick Lykins, Jim Milam, Andy Horner and Bart Peters round out the starting lineup.
All good things come to an end someday, unless you happen to play for the St. Ursula girls soccer team. The defending state champion Bulldogs are nearly unbeatable against fellow Girls Greater Cincinnati League opponents. They have not lost a league contest in more than four years. The streak continued Monday, when St. Ursula had to battle to tie a feisty McAuley squad, 2-2. St. Ursula is 9-0-3 overall and 4-0-2 and in first place in the GGCL. McAuley is 7-1-4 and 2-0-3. Twice the Mohawks had the lead in the game, but St. Ursula fought back both times, scoring the game-tying goal with just over five minutes left. "There comes a time when you have to turn it up to 150 percent, and this was one of those times," said St. Ursula's Stephanie Arling. McAuley broke the ice when Michelle Burke took a pass from freshman Betsy Moore and scored early in the game. Heather Mitts tied the game for St. Ursula midway through the second half when she scored off Regina Edwards' corner kick, but Jnny Nickerson gave the lead back to the Mohawks off a direct kick on a handball call. St. Ursula's 44-game undefeated streak appeared in jeopardy until Annette Gruber broke out of a scramble in front of the net to even the score at 2 late. "There's no pressure on the girls because of the streak," said St. Ursula coach Bob Sheehan. "Most of them aren't even aware

McAuley coach Shannon Gen said she was happy with the way her team played, especially since the Mohawks lost standout stopper Kari Sunderhaus last week with a broken leg suffered against Seton.

Shot at golf pays dividends BY DAVE SCHUTTE Enquirer contributor
Relating to Justin Bonomini would be very easy for the majority of the thousands of Cincinnati golfers. A public course player who works a full-time summer job, the 17-year-old Bonomini has developed into one of the area's better high school golfers. Once an athlete who concentrated on baseball and football, Bonomini is now one of the key ingredients for the No. 1-ranked Turpin golf team. "Two golfers can't carry us to Columbus," Turpin coach Bill Hanneken said, referring to tested Spartan standouts Kyle Elfers and Andy Sanders. "It will take at least four players and Justin is one of them. We asked him to average 40 strokes last year and he came in at 40.5. We need him under 40 this season." Bonomini wasn't always a competitive golfer. "I didn't start taking golf seriously until my freshman year," Bonomini said. "This was after surgery on the knee which was injured playing football for the Turpin junior high team." Advised by the doctors that another blow to the knee could be devastating, Bonomini decided to get the old set of golf clubs out of the garage and give it another try. A mediocre player as a freshman, Bonomini decided to give up baseball to concentrate on golf. He made great strides the next year and came on strong last season as a junior. Bonomini' s play was instrumental for Turpin in 1993 as the Spartans surprised by earning a first-ever berth in the state meet. "It was a thrill going to state, knowing we were one of the 12 best teams in the state," Bonomini said. "But no one on the team thought we could win because of Upper Arlington." During the summer, Bonomini has been active in tournaments. He finished second to Sycamore's Jeff
