Sidney finishes 11th in D-I sectional tourney

The Yellow Jackets’ season came to end in a Division I sectional tournament on Wednesday at Reid Park Golf Club in Springfield.

The Yellow Jackets finished 11th out of 15 teams with a 399 team score.

“The course was playing tough, and the kids were really struggling on the greens,” Sidney coach Bill Rippey said.

Sidney senior Nick Zerkle led the squad with an 86 and tied for 16th. He was two strokes shy of earning one of the sectional’s four individual district berths.

“We are going to miss Zerkle very much,” Rippey said. “His work ethic was amazing, he always wanted to practice, then practice more. I hope the underclassman paid attention to the amount of work he put in.”

Kaden Abbott shot 93, Luke Bemus shot 109 and Devan Wiford shot 111.

The Yellow Jackets finished 5-9 in match play in regular season and finished third in the Miami Valley League Valley Division with a 3-6 record.
