Roeder, Loyd Just Miss Medals At Tournament
The Trenton High School golf team traveled to the Brookfield Tournament on Thursday where they wound up with a team score of 441, placing them in a tie for sixth-place with Kirksville in the 10-team field.
Leading the way for Trenton were Gavin Roeder and Brycin Loyd, both of whom came up just short of a medal at the tournament. Roeder carded a 103 with a front-nine 51 and back-nine 52. That mark placed Roeder 16th. The top 12 at the tournament earned medals.
Behind Roeder was Loyd, who finished 17th individually, one stroke behind Roeder with a score of 104. Loyd shot a 49 on the front nine, but cooled off a bit on the back, shooting a 55 to arrive at his final tally.
Behind the top duo, Trenton got a 114 from Chase Otto, who had nine-hole splits of 58 and 56. Preston Harris, who rebounded from a front nine 65 to card a 55 on the back, rounded out the team total with a score of 120. Bo Meeker was also in varsity action for Trenton at the tournament, carding a 124 with nine-hole marks of 63 and 61.
Milan won the tournament, shooting a team score of 372 to fend off host Brookfield’s runner-up total of 380. Macon was third, shooting an even 400, and Putnam County and Schuyler County rounded out the top five with scores of 409 and 421 respectively.
Trenton’s golf team will be in Chillicothe twice this week. The Bulldogs have a dual with the Hornets at the Green Hills Golf Course at 4 p.m. on Tuesday and they will return to the same spot for the all-day Chillicothe Tournament on Thursday.
