Four of Northern Tioga’s six competitors shot below 90 for a combined team score of 340. Wellsboro was a close second, finishing 3 strokes behind, with a 343. Sayre (368) took home 3rd place, Towanda (381) was 4th, North Penn-Mansfield (396) was 5th, and Athens rounded out the field in 6th with a score of 396.

Wellsboro’s Brandyn Tuttle earned medalist honors and claimed the top spot with a round of 78.

“It was a tale of nines for us,” said Wellsboro head coach Steve Macensky. “Everyone played a really good 9 holes but no one but together two good nines. On average there was a 6 shots difference between each nine. We just needed to stay more consistent throughout a round. The team needs to find a way to lower our team score by 6 to 10 shots.”
