Cazenovia girls golf takes third at OHSL tourney

By Phil BlACkwEll

Twice in the span of less than a week, the Cazenovia and Chittenango girls golf teams would go through their post-season tournaments. It began with last Wednesday’s Richard Winstead Onondaga High School League championships at Woodcrest, where the Lakers rose all the way to third place with a team total of 462 as the Bears were fifth with 507.

This was Cazenovia’s best finish in the league tournament since 2017, and wasn’t far from the runner-up total of 448 from Marcellus as Christian Brothers Academy, unbeaten in the regular season, easily claimed the team title with 361.

Shooting a 102 for 18 holes, the Lakers’ Claire Marris claimed seventh place, CBA’s Hana Kang (84) edging Manlius Pebble Hill’s Amitees Fazeli (85) for top honors.

Isabella Fazio also made it to the top 10, claiming 10th place with her 111, while Grace Probe finished 17th at 123. Chittenango’s best total came from Ava Hohl, whose 118 tied for 13th place.

Back on Monday, Chittenango lost 183249 to CBA as Alea Morris shot a 54, Abby VanDee had a 63 and 66s were recorded by Rory Beckwith, Emma Stanek and Kaelyn Rudd, all behind the Brothers’ 41 from Anna Fuller and 43 from Grace Catalano.
