Golf Thursday in Leesburg Wawasee saw an old, self-imposed nemesis, the double-bogey, return in its golf match with Penn and LaVille Monday evening. Penn was four shots better than Wawasee, 161-165, with LaVille turning in a 186 at Tippecanoe Lake Country Club. “We got back in our bad habit of having big holes,” said Wawasee head coach Steve Coverstone via fax. “When we reduce the double (bogeys) and more, we play well. Take out a couple of holes for most of the guys and we scored OK.” The Warriors are right back at it this afternoon, taking on Northern Lakes Conference foes Northridge and Goshen at Maplecrest Country Club on Goshen’s north side. PENN 161, WAWASEE 165 LAVILLE 186 (Tippecanoe Lake CC - Par 35) Penn scores – Joe Hickey 38, Nick Thurin 40, Blake Harman 41, Ryan Walsh 42, Brady York 45 Wawasee scores – McClain Herr 40, Jeffrey Moore 41, Tristan Atwood 42, Kaleb Perry 42, Cal Heinisch 43 LaVille scores – Michael Butler 41, Dakota Figg 47, Tyler Thomas 47, Kyle Schafer 51, Dustin Royer 51 Softball Saturday at Argos Triton swept a doubleheader from Argos on Saturday, taking the opener 9-2 and winning the nightcap 14-2 in five innings.
