PREBLE COUNTY — Twin Valley South’s boys golf team, along with Tri-County North’s Ethan Kelley qualified for the Division III district golf tournament to be held this week.

South finished fourth, shooting a 364 at the Beechwood sectional, while Kelley was one of four individuals not on a qualifying team to advance out of the Turtle Creek sectional.

South was led by junior Nathan Osborn, who fired a 72 and finished third overall.

“I was really pleased with how the guys played,” South coach Darcy Robinson said. “Nathan had an awesome front nine, but then ran into some bad luck on the back nine. Still, he handled the pressure well, and was able to finish with an even par.”

Robinson said she knew her team would have play well in order to advance.

“Going in, we didn’t know whether we would advance as a team or not, so it was crucial for him (Osborn) to play well, if he was going to advance as an individual. Our sectional is really strong, as the medalist on the day shot a 70, and there was also a 71. When Nate can score in the low 70’s or better, it takes a lot of pressure off the other guys,” Robinson said. “Most teams that advance, usually have all their scores in the 80’s or better. So we can afford to have some scores in the 90’s and still make it out. That won’t be the case in the district tournament. We’ll have to have everyone step up, big-time, in order for the team to advance.”

Robinson said she is hopeful the team will make it out of the district and on to state, but she is being realistic.

“To be honest, with where our team is right now, our main goal will be to see if we can get Nate to Columbus this year, then hopefully if we can show the same improvement we had this year, then maybe we can start talking about advancing as a team,” she said. “Having said that, I am very proud of all our guys, as to how hard they’ve worked this year, and the focus that they’ve had. We battled the heat, and they really came through well. Golf is a crazy game, and on any given day, any given hole, anything can happen. So we’re going to go into this next tournament hoping that everyone brings their A-game.”

Chance Parks shot a 94 and Willie Bowman shot a 95. Cole Petersen shot a 103 and Conner Bradley shot a 111 to round out the scoring for South.

Kelley shot a 91 to lead North to a sixth place finish. North shot a team score 384. Dylan Curtin shot 94, Alex Wayman shot 99, Clayton Finney shot 100 and Landon Owens shot 122.
