Staff reports
BORDEN -- Cloverdale golf battled a tough course Tuesday at Hoosier Hills and suffered a 147-166 loss at the hands of Clay City. The Eels' Fred Modesitt earned medalist honors with a three-under 36.
Clover coach Doug Wokoun was pleased with his team's effort even in defeat.
"Hoosier Hills is a unique setting and present an unusual set of problems. I thought we coped pretty well with most of that, but Clay City is master on its home course. The play the conditions extremely well," Wokoun said.
