The team was led by medalist Will Lawton, who shot a 38.
The other top scores of the day were shot by Erik Hopkins and Greg Beatty, who both shot a 41. Hawkes said the win versus Pioneer was “huge,” given the circumstances. “It was a big win over our rival Pioneer during homecoming week and it was at our home course which is the Springville Country Club,” he said.
With their scores against Pioneer, Lawton, Hopkins and Beatty all qualified for the Erie County Interscholastic Conference Championship tournament. The qualifications for this tournament are based on players’ season averages. Acknowledging the tournament’s importance, Hawkes said, “This is a big deal. It’s been a long time since Springville has had three go to the championships.”
