Boys Golf: Grandview senior has great day
Centennial Conference golf teams competed in the Centennial League Meet #4 on Sept. 4 at Aurora Hills Golf Course.
The story of the day was Grandview senior Michael Rosman, who dazzled on the Aurora links with a ten-under 62 for the day. Rosman’s total was the only Wolves’ score in the top ten, but still good enough to propel Grandview to a second place team finish. Cherry Creek seniors Dalton Schwartz (66) finished second, Andre Dumomteil (68) third, Wyatt Isgrig (69) tied for fourth, and Henry Starr (70) tied for sixth.
The Cherry Creek foursome of Schwartz, Dumonteil, Isgrig, and Starr took home the team honors coming in with a total of 273, besting Grandview by 14 strokes. Cherokee Trail finished third, and Smoky Hill sixth.
League duffers will be at it again starting at 11 a.m. on Sept. 11 for Centennial League Match #5 at Saddle Rock Golf Course in Aurora.
