ROCKFORD ? Hononegah showed it can golf with Boylan for one day.
So did Freeport. Especially Adama Werntz.
But no one could play with Boylan all season.
The Titans finished with a perfect score in the second year of the new scoring system to determine the NIC-10 boys golf champion. Boylan finished with 27 points by winning all nine conference duals and beating every school in both days of the NIC-10 tournament at Sandy Hollow Friday and Saturday.
?We played consistently good over the whole season,? said sophomore Kyle Slattery, who led Boylan by shooting 74-79?153, to finish second for medalist honors, three strokes behind Werntz.
Slattery was tied with Werntz with three holes to go.
?The pressure got to me,? Slattery said. ?I knew I needed to par out, but I finished bogey, bogey, bogey. But?s I?ve got two more years to go.?
Boylan?s Danny Gorman, the conference favorite, was tied with Slattery for the first day lead with a 74 but shot 81 Saturday.
?As a team we?re all excited to bring home the conference championship, but me and Kyle put ourselves in position to win but didn?t follow through,? Gorman said. ?It was the worst round of the year for me. It kind of stinks to do it in the conference championship with it all on the line, but as a team we can?t be disappointed at all. We did what we needed to do.?
Werntz had the opposite feeling Gorman did. He wanted to win last year, when the tourney was on Freeport?s home course of Park Hills.
?I was very disappointed with my finish last year,? Werntz said.
And his start this year.
?I worked over the winter. I worked very early in the spring and all summer. My whole goal was to win this tournament,? Werntz said.
?This means everything. My goal my senior year was to be conference MVP, but in the regular season, I didn?t have the season I wanted. I knew I?d have to win this to have a chance.?
Boylan dominated Friday, shooting 312 to finish 17 strokes better than Harlem. Auburn also surprised Friday with a third-place finish. That put Hononegah and Freeport, who finished fourth and fifth after being second and third in duals, out of the running, but the Indians bounced back Saturday and finished second and third overall. Boylan shot 321 Saturday, Hononegah 322 and Freeport 324.
?It was disheartening Friday,? Hononegah coach Harrison Hearne said. ?We thought we could chase Boylan. We know Boylan is a better team than us, but we don?t think they are a much better team than us. ... It was nice to see the kids come back and play well.?
