"Congratulations to Coach Eickhoff and his Hillsboro team," said St. Anthony Coach Phil Zaccari. "Three-oh-two is a great score right out of the gate. They have a really good team and it will be fun competing with them all year.

  "We finished a solid second at 322 and we are happy with that but still know we can do better. Nathan Schultz played a real solid round of 76 to lead us today. A good confidence booster for him. Ben Strullmyer shot a personal best 81 playing very solid  and under control. Luke Ludwig struggled a little today. His timing is just a little off but he still battled and ground out an 81. Zach Wortman showed some real toughness today being nine over after three holes. He went four over the next 15 to shoot 84. Sophomore, Jayden Rios also shot a solid 84."
