Valpo Boys Golf Suffers First Defeat against Penn

On a day reaching 30 mile-per-hour winds, the Penn High School boys golf team was able to best Valparaiso by two strokes at Briar Ridge Country Club. The Valpo High School team shot 316 and finished second to Penn, but defeated Lake Central, who finished with a 354 score.

Leading the way for the Vikings was a second-place finish by Bobby Jacobs, who shot a six-over 78 on 18 holes at Briar Ridge. Kyle Heihofer and Logan Bertalan finished just behind Jacobs, each shooting a 79, while Tyler Blosfield shot 80 on the day. Pat Cowan placed eighth overall in the meet, shooting an 81 on the day.

The Vikings are now 4-1 on the season as they prepare for their weekend tournaments at Aberdeen for the Varsity squad and Forest Park for the JV team.
