Golf, soccer competitions set for Saturday

Friday, September 23, 2016

Several Putnam County athletes will be involved in tournament action this weekend.

• In golf, Greencastle’s team of Macey Masten, Lindsey Bridgewater, Alex Weliever, Gabby Selvia and Rose White will compete in the Indianapolis Roncalli regional on Saturday at Smock Golf Course.

The Tiger Cubs placed third on Monday in the Northview sectional.

Also competing in the regional will be North Putnam’s Taylor Dixon, who was second among individuals not on qualifying teams in the Crawfordsville sectional last Saturday, and Alicia Haywood of South Putnam. Haywood was third individually in the Northview sectional among golfers whose teams did not advance.

Cloverdale did not have any golfers to move on from the sectional, but coach Matthew Langdon was still pleased with his team and its season.

“I thought we played well on the front nine,” he said of the sectional. “We shot a 214 on the front and our top three were in good positions to compete for one of the individual regional spots.

“We just didn’t play as well on the back,” he added. “We still had a couple of girls that were close but fell short.”

The Clovers will have four graduating seniors who will be missed, Langdon said.

“It was still a good year for our program,” he said. “Interest in the program is up and how we compete at these bigger meets is improving every year.

“Our seniors have all meant a lot to this program and will be missed.”

• In soccer, Greencastle will play at Edgewood in the boys’ Western Indiana Conference crossover championship match.

Other crossover matchups are:

Boys (all at 11 a.m.)

3rd/4th — Sullivan at Brown County

5th/6th — Northview at Cascade

7th/8th — North Putnam at Owen Valley

Girls (all at 1 p.m.)
