Pomeroy Daily Sentinel - GA golfers win quad at Cliffside

GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — Another day on the links, another victory for the Blue Devils.

The Gallia Academy golf team, fresh off its season-opening championship at the Ironton Invitational on Monday, started its 2011 home campaign in style Tuesday afternoon with an impressive 60-stroke victory over the field in a quad match at Cliffside Golf Club in the Old French City.

The Blue Devils had little trouble with visiting River Valley, Portsmouth and South Point, as the hosts fired an impressive round of 153 as a team. GAHS also had five of the top six individual scores at the quad match.

Portsmouth was second with 213, followed by South Point with a score of 215. The Raiders started the day with four players, but one did not finish — leaving RVHS without a final team tally.

Rob Canady led the Blue Devils and all golfers with a medalist round of 36, which was par for the course. Corey Arthur and Boeing Smith followed with respective efforts of 38 and 39, while Nick Saunders rounded out the team score with a round of 40. Derrick Gilmore and Daniel Rees also had efforts of 45 and 48 for the Devils.

Dan Goodrich led the Raiders with a 56, followed by Zach Morris with 66 and Taylor Woolridge with 72.

Drew Miller led the runner-up Trojans with a 45, followed by Joe Amburgey with 50 and Levi Porter with a 55. Jacob Call rounded out the PHS team score with a 63.

Callie Taylor paced the Pointers with a round of 50, followed by Austin Wellman with 56 and Caleb Jones with 61. Barbara Collins completed the SPHS scoring with a 68, while Jordan Lynd also had a 70 for South Point.

This story will appear in the Thursday sports edition of the Gallipolis Daily Tribune, Point Pleasant Register and The Daily Sentinel.
