Alton hosts JV Invitational Golf Match for area teams; Tigers take top two spots in individuals, overall

ALTON- The Alton High School Redbirds Golf team welcomed 12 area teams to their annual Alton JV Invitational Golf Match at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday afternoon at Spencer T. Olin Golf Course.

Junior varsity teams from O’Fallon, Mascoutah, Highland, Collinsville, Edwardsville, Belleville East and West, Althoff, as well as Alton, Civic Memorial and Marquette Catholic High Schools all participated in the event.

Issac Garret and Colin Loyet, both from Edwardsville High School, took the first and second place with scores of 31. Mascoutah High School student Steven Vaughn scored par 33, just three shy of the course’s par 36 regulation.

Edwardsville’s junior varsity and freshman teams took first and second place with scores of 134 and 138 respectively. Belleville West High School came in third overall with a team total of 152.

In accordance to conference rules, the ties in individual scores are determined by a scorecard playoff. The playoff started with hole number nine and worked back to the first hole.

The first invitational match of the season, held at the same course toward the end of the summer, was cancelled due to thunderstorms.
