ELIZABETHTOWN — The Panthers were forced to play their home match at Cobble Hill Golf Course Thursday, due to conditions in Ticonderoga, and the Griffins made sure to capitalize on the match being on their home course, winning 5-1 on Friday to continue their hot start to the season.
Even with a young lineup, the Griffins still were able to come away with a dominant win. After halving the No. 1 and two matchups, the squad would go on to win the next four matchups, securing their sixth win of the season.
“A great result for a lineup consisting of four seventh-graders, an eighth-grader and a freshman. Bryce Liberi showed he could handle pressure turning a one-down with two to play into a half point for our team,” Boquet Valley coach Keith Lobdell said.
The Panthers would get a half-point in each from Jared Kimball and Brooklyn Huestis, as they would halve their matchups with Liberi and Holden Costin. Liberi however, would still be the medalist, shooting the low-score of 54, with Huestis’ 55 leading the Panthers.
“I am very proud of the way my team has improved. We had a great day from Jared and Brooklyn to earn half points,” Crown Point coach Paula LaDeau said.
