Batesville won its second four-way golf meet in as many days last Tuesday, this one played at Lawrenceburg’s Hidden Valley Golf Club against LHS, Oldenburg Academy and Franklin County. BHS scored 165 to Lawrenceburg’s 181, FC’s 188 and OA’s 219.

Cameron Williamson was medalist on his home course by three strokes, shooting even-par 36 to the Bulldogs’ Ian Hixson’s 39. Other BHS scores were Cooper Phebus (41), Landon Raver (42), Jackson Day (43), Jon Moody (48) and Henry Koehne (56).

Thursday the Dogs dispatched North Decatur and Hauser at Hillcrest’s front nine. BHS scored 165 to ND’s 185 and 218 by the Jets.

Day was medalist with 2-over 37; Hixson also came in under all non-BHS scores with 39. Raver shot 44, Moody 45, Leo Moody 48 and Phebus 51. Koehne (43) and Kaiden Eckstein (50) rounded for the JV.

Jack Koehne was low for ND with 42. Hauser’s Hunter Pappano shot 40.

Friday all Batesville golfers outpaced rivals Rushville and South Dearborn at Hillcrest, both BHS squads finishing well ahead of the Lions (206) and Knights (227). Batesville Blue shot 177 while the White team was on their tails at 182.

Phebus of team White earned medalist with 3-over 38. Teammate Day holed 39. Hixson (42), Koehne (44), J. Moody (45) and L. Moody (46) were next on team Blue and Raver shot 49 for White, equal to the best effort from the other schools (Rushville’s Griffin Norris).
