GOLF REGIONAL
BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com A bad day from a good player can sometimes sink a boys golf team come regional time, but Sterling Newman was able to escape that unwanted fate Tuesday thanks to its strong depth. The Comets overcame a rough day from their No. 1 player and took second place at the nineteam Class 1A Oregon Regional at Silver Ridge Golf Course. Riverdale (337) and Newman (340) punched their tickets to the season-ending Spring Valley Sectional next Wednesday at Spring Creek Golf Course. There will be no state tournament this season, due to COVID-19. A new scoring system in which players entered scores on their cell phones allowed all involved the ability to keep track of how individuals and teams stood in real time. It made for some high drama on the last few holes, as Riverdale, Newman and Fulton, which was third at 342, battled it out for two team sectional berths. The top two teams and four individuals (plus ties) not on those teams advance to the sectional. That will be Riverdale, Newman, Fulton’s top three, as well as Erie-Prophetstown’s Bryce Rosenow and Amboy’s Wes Wilson, who each had 88 to tie with Newman’s Palmer for 10th place. Alex T. Paschal/Shaw Media Oregon was seventh with a 404 score. The Hawks Oregon’s Jarrett Dietrich tees off on #10 during the 1A were led by Jarrett Dietrich (95), Isaac Kaltenbrun regional at Silver Ridge Golf Course on Tuesday. (97), Issac Reber (104) and Jackson Werren (108).
