Cave Spring used balanced scoring from its top four players as the Knights captured the 24-team Heritage Invitational Monday at London Downs Golf Club in Forest.
Cave Spring, using the best four scores from five entrants, finished with a 313 total, good enough for a 4-shot victory over three schools tied at 317 including Hidden Valley, Franklin County and Jefferson Forest. Hidden Valley was officially awarded third after a tiebreaker format was used. For Cave Spring, it was a successful defense of the title it also won last year.
Among other area teams, Salem finished with a team score of 319, Lord Botetourt 320, Northside 338, Patrick Henry 355, and William Fleming 508. George McDaniel of Jefferson Forest was the medalist, shooting 69. Hidden Valley’s Brad Elder was 4-back with an impressive 73.
Cave Spring was led by Drew Lagan’s 75, followed by Nick Brediger (77), Drew Board (80), and Eric Hart (81). Freshman Meagan Board fired a 85 as the fifth Knight player.
Other individual area scores of note included Hidden Valley’s Alex Taylor (74), Salem’s Andrew Butts (73), Botetourt’s Lyndsey Hunnell (77) and Justin Broyles (79) and Northside’s Dylan Wright (77).
High school tournament play continued Thursday with the Metro Tournament at Botetourt Counry Club.
