Brown County Athletics

Fifty four golfers slogged through drizzle, then a steady rain, and finally an all out deluge Monday at Cascades Golf Course in Bloomington, competing for team and individual honors in the IHSAA Sectional. The Brown County Eagles struggled to find their footing and finished in ninth place with a 464. The Martinsville Artesians won the event posting a 346. "When play was suspended at approximately 2:15 pm due to water puddling on the greens, only two of our players, Chloe Poling and Caitlynn Lookebill, had completed their rounds. Cami Keaton, Maggie Gredy, and Nevaeh Caito were still on the course with their Columbus East and Hauser opponents with three or four holes left to play. After a meeting with tournament officials and coaches, it was determined that those players still on the course would be assigned a score of double par on the holes they had not completed since no team or individual still playing had any possibility of advancing," said Eagle co-coach Brad Baughman. BCHS scores: Chloe Poling 104. Cami Keaton 115, Caitlynn Lookebill 119, Maggie Gredy 126, and Nevaeh Caito 141. "The weather was brutal, but it was brutal for everyone. We just did not handle the conditions very well, but our girls never complained one bit, and for that I commend them. Since we ended the regular season with a nine hole scoring average of 223, I was hoping for a little better score today than that 464. It may have been a soggy finish, but we had a really positive season and this group improved immensely," added Baughman.
