By Cort Reynolds
BLUFFTON – The Ada High School boys golf team finished second in a three-team match at the Bluffton Golf Course Wednesday, August 14.
Ada played for the third consecutive day, this time against non-league foes Pandora-Gilboa and Ottoville.
Ottoville won the match with 179 strokes, followed by the Bulldogs with 210 shots and P-G in third at 213.
“It was a humid night for golf,” said head coach Kurt Klingler. “We played competitively and shot a good score for us. Having two players shoot in the 40’s is good for us.
“We would still like to get our scores down 7-10 strokes for each player,” he noted.
Bulldog senior Ethan Lawrence shot a round of 48 to pace Ada. He finished fourth overall in the field of 16 golfers.
Sophomore Brody Rister finished right behind him in fifth place by carding a 49.
Sophomore Lawson Klingler finished third for the Bulldogs with a 55.
Junior Sam Crawford was the fourth Ada scorer as he posted a 58.
Evan Altenburger of the first-place Big Green was match medalist with a nine-hole score of 40. Teammate Blake Kortokrax finished second overall with a round of 42.
Ada (2-3) hosts a quadrangular match Friday at Bluffton vs. Hardin Northern, Arcadia and Delphos Jefferson.
