Sectional champion was Connersville senior Jonah Graham, whose 76 was one stroke lower than Cameron Woods of Union County (77). Cooper Kinney of Connersville came in third with a 78.
The host Red Devils won the team title by scoring a collective 328 and Connersville’s Spartans were next at 342. The Union County Patriots will also compete at the next round after finishing third at 351. Parker Engle of Tri shot 82 and Alex Beatty of Northeastern 83 to advance individually.
Coming in behind Kelly for FC was Peyton McCreary at 94 (46 and 48 splits). Drew Meyer and Austin Hill each carded 100 for the Wildcats and Josh Bauman completed a round of 106.
