Fort Frye golf team deserved better at OVAC tournament
Fort Frye’s golf team is scheduled to begin sectional tournament play at Willandale Golf Club in Sugar Creek at 9 a.m. Tuesday. One the of the other schools in that tourney will be Steubenville Central, which “technically” captured Thursday’s Class AA Ohio Valley Athletic Conference crown at the Crispin Course at Oglebay Park in Wheeling (W.Va.). The Dave McFerren-coached Cadets of Beverly were runner-up at Crispin, after initially believing at the finish they had secured the OVAC championship for the first time. Unfortuately, though, Fort Frye didn’t win it, because of a scorecard rule infraction — not of its making. Here’s what happened. After Cadet junior golfer Tyler Walters shot a 78, the Linsly golfer who kept his card noticed that a score was not written on one of the holes. Walters informed the Linsly golfer — not once but twice, according to McFerren — that he’d gotten a 5 on that hole.
