HURON — Galion’s Jack McElligott qualified for district golf competition after firing an 82 during the sectional golf tournament at Sawmill Creed on Monday. He’ll return to action Thursday at Red Hawk Run in Findlay for the district tournament.

The Galion boys golf team shot an overall team score of 372, which was not enough to move on to districts as a team. The Ontario Warriors won the sectionals event with a team score of 327 and the Clear Fork Colts finished third at 347. Both teams will play in districts play.

“I was very pleased with how Jack played (today). He held himself together and battled mentally though some missed putts. I am proud of his performance, especially with him being a sophomore. I am looking forward to seeing how he plays at districts,” said coach Bryce Lehman.

Matt Kingseed finished the day with a score of 91. Mitch Dyer also had a sub-hundred score finishing with a 99. Brevin Owens added a 100 and Kaleb Harsh penciled in a 103.

The Galion Tigers finished this season in the middle of the pack in the Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference Red division with a league record of 6-6. The future is bright for Lehman’s team, as Brevin Owens is the only senior on the varsity team.
