Fueled by the talented duo of Nick Sims and Jacob Rutan, West Liberty-Salem’s boys golf team ran away with the Ohio Heritage Conference tournament championship Wednesday at Reid Park in Springfield.

The Tigers shot a 338 to win comfortably over second-place Northeastern (365). Springfield Catholic Central took third with 366 and Cedarville was fourth (400).

Rounding out the field, Southeastern was fifth (413), Mechanicsburg was sixth (419), Greeneview finished seventh (424) and Triad was eighth (439).

“I was pleased with how we performed over the last two weeks,” said WL-Salem head coach Darrin Leichty. “We had two losses early in the season and had no room for error. Even with the pressure, we were relaxed and played with confidence. The guys are peaking at the right time.”
