Central's best round too good for Jackson

Central matched its best round of golf this season, taking advantage of calm winds to shoot a 148 to win a three-team meet at Cape Country Club on Thursday.

Central had all four scorers shoot below 40 on the par-35 golf course.

"The golf course was in great shape and we played the ball down," Central coach Dick Wadlington said.

Todd Obergoenner matched his season average with a 36, and Zach Kluesner shot his top round of golf with a 36. Ty Gramling added a 37 and Tyson Seabaugh shot a 39.

Jackson fell off after a sizzling 147 on Wednesday in a win against Ste. Genevieve, shooting a 164. Josh Wheeler shot a 39 to lead Jackson. Chase Walker and Eric Fraley each shot 41, and Blake McDowell and Gabe Sauer each carded a 43.

New Madrid County shot a 189 to finish third.GIRLS SOCCER
