CHARDON—Berkshire picked up a big Chagrin Valley Conference Valley Division win on Wednesday when the Badgers edged Independence, 175-178, on the back nine at Pleasant Hills Golf Course.
Forrest Kuchling won medalist honors with a match-low 38 while Stuart Horvath carded a 42, Cole Crea finished with a 46 and Caden Neumore shot a 49 for the Badgers.
“Obviously that’s a big win for us considering it’s the first CVC match against a good team in Independence,” said Berkshire coach Dave List. “I was very pleased with the way we played today. Forrest and Stuart came up big for us. Caden Neumore continues to improve with each match in his first season on the varsity.”
Andrew Teribery and Ryan Zygmunt both finished with 42 for Independence while Tyler Sagi shot a 45 and Carson Bianco came in with a 49.
“It’s always tough to beat Berkshire on their home course, but I still felt good going into today,” said Independence coach Mark Echstenkamper. “We just didn’t get it done. Teribery and Zygmunt both had a solid round and Sagi also had one of his best scores of the year. We just couldn’t come in with the fourth score we needed.”
