PAULDING - Spencerville won a four-team Northwest Conference golf match Thursday at the Auglaize Golf Course to clinch the league regular season championship.
Spencerville finished first with 160 strokes, followed by Paulding (177), Crestview (205) and Ada (225).
Bearcat Gavin Harmon was match medalist with a 36, nosing out teammate Ethan Harmon's 37.
Alex Morgan topped the Bulldogs with a career-low score of 47. Brevin Sizemore shot a 55. Wyatt Baderstcher carded a 61 and Austin Amburgey added a 62.
Rob Allison also posted a 64 and Jake Colwell added a 73.
UPPER SANDUSKY - The visiting Ada boys soccer team shut out Upper Sandusky Thursday evening 4-0 to extend their win streak to five.
Ada improved to 6-1 with its fifth win in a row.
Chris Reyes talied three goals to pace the victors. Logan Williams scored a goal and passed out an assist. Noah Pinkney dealt a pair of assists while Nate Allen doled out one assist.
Ace Gamble made one save in goal for the Bulldogs as Ada out-shot US 18-1.
Ada shared the NWC title with DJ in 2013. The Bulldogs beat the Wildcats 25-20 and then 27-22 in the playoffs that fall, both times in Delphos. Since then Jefferson has won their last three meetings handily (10-0, 51-7 and 44-0 last year).
Despite their recent success, the Wildcats experienced an off-season head coaching change. Chris Sommers, who guided DJ to three straight outright NWC titles from 2014-16, left this past January to take over the reins at arch-rival Spencerville.
Wildcat assistant and Napoleon native Brandon Behnfeldt was moved up to replace Sommers at the Jefferson helm in February.
