Boys golf started the week off strong, beating Jonathan Alder by one shot at the OHSAA Sectional Tournament. Sam C. shot a 74 to capture first place, as the rest of his team racked up high scores, allowing the Vikes to place first in the tournament. Ethan B. led Academy with a 78 and finished runner-up. Alex S. trailed one stroke behind, tallying a 79. Gavin M., Krish B., and Jaxon C. gained low eighty scores, shooting 81, 82, and 85, respectively.  

On Saturday, the Vikings headed to Turnberry to play in the Pickerington Central Invitational. The tough weather conditions made it difficult to play but Academy still dominated. They shot a team score of 316 and tied Bexley for third place. Ethan B. had another phenomenal match, shooting a 75 and placing tenth individually. The remainder of the Vikes contributed low 80’s scores. Krish B. and Gavin M. shot 80s, while Alex S. and Jaxon C. tallied 81 and 85 respectively. 

The boys are back in action on Saturday, October 5, for the Olentangy Showcase at the Kinsale Golf Club.
