B-2 Sports Wednesday, June 7, 2017 The Press-Dispatch double bogey and one triple bogey. The triple bogey and the double bogey occurred on back-to-back holes – No. 16, a par-5, and No. 17, a par-4 – before Vaughn closed out his round with a par on the 18th hole. "I played pretty well, and I had two bad holes," said Vaughn, whose 80 was a 17-stroke improvement over the 97 he shot during the Vincennes Lincoln Invita- tional earlier this season. "I happened to hit four trees on (Hole 16). Other than that, I thought I played pretty well. (I) couldn't do much better than what I did today." "In a two-hole span, he was five over; other than that, he was 75," Giddeon said of Vaughn. "He ended up tak- ing a triple-bogey on (No. 16) and was lucky to get that. But he played really well." Onyett – who shot a 96 during the sectional tour- nament as a freshman – had two birdies, eight pars, four bogeys, three double bogeys and one triple bogey. Onyett had a shaky start during the sudden-death playoff, hitting his tee shot on the par-5 No. 1 into a tree line to the right of the fairway while Sandusky's tee shot landed in the fairway. "I was close to a little ground-under-repair patch, and if your stance is in it, then you get a free relief from it," Onyett said. "I measured my club length and then I took the drop out of it, and then I had a better lie than what I started out with." Onyett – whose 82 was a seven-stroke improvement over the 89 he shot during the Vincennes Lincoln Invi- tational earlier this season – was able to punch his second shot from out of the tree line to the front edge of the green. A fter hitting his ball onto the green, Onyett two-putted – the second an 8 -1/2 footer that circled halfway around the lip of the hole before drop- ping in – to match Sandusky with a par. "It went on the other side of the hole, and I didn't real- ly know how it happened at first," said Onyett, who had double-bogeyed the hole ear- lier in the day. "But then it just fell in, like the golf gods helped me or something." On the second playoff hole, the par-3 No. 2, Sandusky – teeing off first – drew ap- plause from many of the spec- tators after his ball landed on the green. "When he teed off, every- body started clapping, and it looked like it was a great shot," Onyett said. "So I knew it was close. I knew I'd have to hit one, too." Onyett's tee shot also land- ed on the green, drawing an- other round of applause from the large group of spectators. "You can ask my coach – I've had trouble with my irons all year long," Onyett said. "I just hit a great one ... and put one close to him." Sandusky, whose ball was the furthest away from the pin, putted first, and rolled his putt just to the right of the hole before stopping just a couple of feet away. A fter Onyett's first putt stopped well short of the hole, Sandusky's putt for par lipped out of the cup while Onyett sank his to end the sudden-death playoff. "I've missed some one-foot- ers before," Onyett said. "But I didn't miss that one." "The way Noah won in the playoff, he likes that kind of atmosphere," Gideon said. "He likes that one-on-one challenge." Kabrick and Potter, nei- ther of whom competed in last year's sectional meet, showed massive improve- ments over their performanc- es during the Vincennes In- vitational earlier this season. Kabrick's score of 93 was a 14-stroke improvement over the 107 he fired at the CCOV course in April, while Potter's score of 94 was a 24-stroke improvement over the 118 he shot during the invitational. Holder's score of 98, mean- while, was off just one stroke from the 97 he scored at the CCOV course in April. "As a team, we played re- ally well," Gideon said. "And four of those guys will be back next year. So that's a good thing." Vaughn agreed. "Next year, we are return- ing four of our top five, so I think we had a very good c hance of winning next year," Vaughn said. "That's our ul- timate goal." The regional tournament will start at 8:30 a.m., East- ern time, on Thursday, June 8, at the Country Oaks Golf Club in Montgomery.

During his senior sea- son, White, who was named to the Pocket Ath- letic Conference's All-Con- ference Baseball Team for the second straight year, had 34 hits in 76 at-bats – a .447 batting average – with seven doubles, two triples and four home runs while scoring 29 runs and driv- ing in 20. White drew 17 walks and struck out 13 times. He al- so had 12 steals. White played shortstop – that is, whenever he was not on the pitching mound. "I counted on him a lot this year," McDonald said. "I wore his arm out. But I hope he learned from it, be- cause he played hard for me all year. That's what I needed from him and that's what I got." "We're going to miss him," McDonald added. "We've got to figure some things out, for sure." As a senior, White was also named to the PAC's All-Conference Boys' Soc- cer Team for the second straight year after scor- ing a school-record 33 goals to lead the Chargers to their first-ever section- al title. White finished his high school career with a school-record 68 goals. In addition, White re- ceived All-PAC honorable mention accolades in boys' basketball for the second straight year after averag- ing 11.8 points, 2.7 assists and 1.1 steals, and helping the Chargers win their sec- ond consecutive sectional title. White also played foot- ball all four years as a place-kicker, hitting 57 of 74 point-after-touchdown attempts and 15 of 22 field goal attempts – including a school-record 41-yard- er during his freshman campaign. In addition, he caught two passes for 24 yards during his senior season. "We're super-excited for him," Pike Central head boys' basketball coach Ja- son Roach said. "He's do- ne a great job for us and showed how good he is on the field as well – the base- ball field and the football field and the soccer field." "I said at our banquet that if I was starting any kind of sport, if I could start ballroom dancing, he would be the number one kid I would recruit to be on my team," Roach added. "That just speaks for the type of athlete that he is."
