Riverside’s Brandon Whitehead earned a district berth to provide a local highlight in the Division III boys golf sectional Monday at Beechwood Golf Course in Arcanum.

“It was a very windy day and the boys played very well for the weather conditions,” said Riverside head coach Andy Phelps. “This has been Brandon’s goal all year to make it out of districts. I am very proud of the way they all played.”  

Grant Miller contributed a 94 and Kyle Hurley was close behind with a 96 for the Pirates. Kyle Millice added a 106 and Nathan Guthrie shot 111.
