Evan Barbin wins Fifth Straight Title while Cecil’s next generation of Golf Stars shine bright at Chesapeake Bay Golf Club’s 31st Annual Junior Club Championship

By Andrew Barbin

RISING SUN - Chesapeake Bay Golf Club in Rising Sun hosted their 31st Annual Junior Club Championship bright and early Thursday morning. Open to all Cecil County golfers and junior members of the club, the Junior Club Championship at Chesapeake Bay Golf Club always proves to be a great preview of the upcoming county golf season, while also showcasing the next generation of Cecil golf stars. And the 2022 iteration of Cecil County’s oldest junior golf tournament was not short on star power, featuring two state champions as well as several starters on North East and Rising Sun’s 2022 squads.

The Boy’s Championship division was head-

lined by 2022 Delaware Golfer of the Year and incoming freshman commit to #32 ranked Liberty University Evan Barbin, as well as the 2021 Maryland 1A/2A State Champion Noah Wallace.

Both golfers were fresh off a tiring stretch of golf, with Evan Barbin competing in the 36-hole U.S. Amateur Qualifier at Canoe Brook in North Jersey the day prior, and Noah Wallace a few days back from competing in the National High School Championships. Nevertheless, both golfers still put on a great show despite the mid-summer fatigue and hot conditions.

Evan Barbin’s prodigious length and accuracy was on full display as he outclassed the field on his way to a score of 1-under par 70, beating Wallace by 8-strokes

in the 18-hole contest in what will likely be the pair’s final competition against each other as junior golfers.

Barbin’s steady onslaught of pars and birdies gave him a comfortable early lead over Wallace through their headto-head matchup. Despite Wallace’s efforts to close the gap, his rocky start kept him from making up substantial ground to the unyielding youngest Barbin brother.

Evan Barbin’s 2022 winning score of 70 was actually his second worst score out of his five junior titles, going 71-6962-68-70 for a career total of 15-under par. His 62 in 2020 is still the lowest score ever shot in competition at Chesapeake Bay Golf Club / Chantilly Manor. Brandon Cohee of Elkton took third with his score of 93. Jake Eckman and Johnny Waldridge strug-

gled on the back 9, but still showcased their tremendous and quick improvement as they look to become senior leaders for Rising Sun. Evan Barbin’s win also completed a career sweep of the tournament with his fifth straight Junior Club Title, as well as the “Barbin Sweep” – a stretch of eleven consecutive years in which a Barbin brother has won Chesapeake Bay Golf Club’s junior title. Andrew Barbin Jr won the overall championships in 2012 and 2013, followed by four consecutive wins by Zach Barbin from 2014 to 2017, and then the five straight by Evan Barbin from 2018 through 2022.

The penultimate Barbin

brother, Austin Barbin, has never won the event, but has won six of the last eight Men’s Club Championships dating back to 2014.

Despite the Barbin Era of Cecil County junior golf finally coming to a close, the future of county golf is looking brighter than ever.

The 13-15 division showcased an extremely talented freshman class, featuring an exciting and budding rivalry between North East’s Wyatt Cudmore and Rising Sun’s Lucas Kilgore. Wyatt, who won the previous head-to-head matchup with Lucas at the Delaware Junior Amateur Championship, doubled up with a victory in the 13-15 age division. Cud-

MOMENTS IN TIME The History Channel

* On Aug. 10, 1776, news reaches London that the Americans had drafted the Declaration of Independence. Until the Declaration of Independence formally transformed the 13 British colonies into states, the conflict centered in Massachusetts was seen as a local uprising. * On Aug. 13, 1781, Patriot forces led by Col. William Harden and Brig. Gen.Francis Marion, known as the “Swamp Fox,” lure British commander Maj. Thomas Fraser and his 450 soldiers into an ambush at Parker’s Ferry, near Charleston, South Carolina. Marion had earned his nickname for his ability to “outfox” his opponents in the swamps of the South Carolina backcountry.

more’s score of 42 featured rock-solid play and strong fundamentals as he prepares to join what could be the most dangerous lineup in the state. Lucas Kilgore had a rocky outing, but still showed glimpses as to why he’s the most exciting prospect Rising Sun has had since Ben Adams. Owen Duffy and Cole Dacey, both incoming freshman at St. Mark’s, also posted an impressive outing with Owen taking runner up with his score of 46, and Cole taking fourth with a score of 56. Caiden Jordan, also an incoming freshman at Rising Sun, shot 61 and another up-and-coming star Luke Cheuvront played up a division and scored a 60 to round out the scoring.

The Boys 9-12 division also highlighted an extremely promising group of young golfers, with Evan Smith headlining the group.

Smith, 11, is the ace of Chesapeake’s 13U Junior League team and is an exceptional talent who also boasts a

terrifyingly high golf IQ. A well-rounded golfer who has great fundamentals and ice in his veins, Smith won the 7-hole contest by thirteen strokes with his 3-over score of 30. Joel Vogt of Rising Sun and Brandon Cantrell of Port Deposit finished second and third respectively with their scores of 43 and 44,

both players poised for great golf careers in their near future. Derrick Gabbert rounded out the scoring with a 51, highlighted by his great shot onto the par 3 15th hole and his close miss at par.

Rounding out the winner’s circle was our 9-12 girl’s champion Isa Phillips, who showed great

fundamentals and promise as Cecil County’s next top girl’s golfer. Isa’s advanced shortgame and strong swing mechanics allowed her to achieve her goals of finishing every hole under double-par and nearly have the second-best score of the whole 9-12 group.

* On Aug. 9, 1936, at the Berlin Olympics, African American track star Jesse Owens wins his fourth gold medal of the Games in the 4 x 100 meter relay. His relay team set a new world record of 39.8 seconds, which held for 20 years. * On Aug 8, 1945, President Harry S. Truman signs the United Nations Charter, and the United States becomes the first nation to complete the ratification process and join the new international organization. Although hopes were high at the time that the United Nations would serve as an arbiter of international disputes, Truman did not even use one of the ceremonial pens to sign, instead opting for a cheap 10-cent desk pen. * On Aug. 12, 1953, less than one year after the United States tested its first hydrogen bomb, the Soviets detonate a 400-kiloton device in Kazakhstan. Known as the “Layer Cake,” the bomb was fueled by layers of uranium and lithium deuteride, a hydrogen isotope.

* On Aug. 11, 1973, “American Graffiti,” a nostalgic coming-of-age tale steeped in the car-centric culture of suburban California, is released in theaters. The movie went on to become a sleeper hit. * On Aug. 14, 1985, Michael Jackson takes control of the publishing rights to the vast majority of the Beatles’ catalog for $47 million, outbidding Paul McCartney himself. In the years afterward, the catalog was estimated to be worth in excess of $1 billion.

All American Garvin Wins First National Championship

By Anthony Cimorosi

FARGO, ND - Tyler Garvin wasn’t nervous stepping out in his first National finals. To him it was another person in the way from his goal to become a national champion.

During the match against Javaan Yarbrough, returning 16U 88lbs National Champion, Tyler never felt like the match was going in the favor of Yarbrough. Even after giving

up a takedown during the beginning of the 2nd period and trailing for the first time all tournament, 4-3.

Tyler came back strong with a hard fought takedown to regain the lead 5-4 and ultimately take control of the match from there.

With about one minute left in the match, Yarbrough takes a good shot but Tyler quickly shifts his momentum and with great defense gets an attack of

his of his own and secured another takedown to go up 7-4.

Counting down the last :30 seconds of the match, Yarbrough gets Tyler into a front head-lock situa-

tion and attempts to roll Tyler to get exposure for two points but once again Tyler settles his hips and catches Yarbrough for another two points. Tyler ultimately wins his first na-

tional championship with a final score of 9-6. He said he stuck to his game plan of staying on his offense and controlling the tempo of the match to create his angles to score.

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne

* The Psychotria elata flower, also affectionately known as the “hot lips plant,” which grows in the rainforests of Central and South America, resembles a puckering mouth covered in lipstick.

PHOTOS BY DUANE GOLDSMITH

* After losing a drunken poker bet in 2009, a New Zealand man had his name legally changed to “Full Metal Havok More Sexy N Intelligent Than Spock And All The Superheroes Combined With Frostnova.” After five years, the new moniker was finally approved by the government, and all 99 characters are on his passport. * In Oklahoma, it is illegal to wear boots to bed (but shoes are OK). * According to a 2014 survey by the Christian retailer LifeWay, 7% of Christian Americans pray for a parking spot. * In 1956, four men on a boat off the coast of Cornwall threw explosives at a shark to kill it, or at least scare it away from divers, but the plan partially backfired, killing two of the men and injuring the others when the shark headed for them instead with an explosive device on its back. * Charlie Daniels objected to the use of “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” in the Guitar Hero III video game because it was possible for the player to lose to a devil-like character, which “perverted” his song. * No matter what it might feel like, to the contrary, when you’re suffering from one, the majority of microbiologists say viruses are not actually alive, as they produce no energy and can only reproduce when inside a living creature.
