PIQUA — Sidney’s boys golf team completed a season sweep of Piqua on Thursday with a 181-189 win at Echo Hills Golf Course.
Mitchell Larger led Sidney with 43, while Ben Spangler had 45, Brandan Rose had 46 and Patrick McClain had 47.
The victory earned another half point for the Yellow Jackets in the Piqua vs. Sidney all-sports trophy race. With the boys golf and girls tennis wins on Thursday, Sidney has a 3-1.5 lead over the Indians.
“It was nice to get a 1/2 point,” Sidney coach Bill Rippey said. “I was a little nervous, because last year we lost to them at their place. Echo Hills can be tricky, but the guys played smart golf.
“We are peaking at the right time. We have the GWOC (tournament) in a few weeks, followed by sectionals. These next couple of weeks will be fun. Larger and Rose are really playing some good golf right now, and I hope that continues into tournament time.”
Sidney improved to 10-4 overall with the victory.

Tippecanoe 3, Sidney 0
The Yellow Jackets lost a GWOC American North game against Tippecanoe on Thursday in Sidney.
“We played a great game tonight against a very good Tipp City team, but we could not find the back of the net tonight,” Sidney coach Jamie Fridley said. “We changed our formation from a 4-2-1-3 to a 4-4-2 and tried to play more defensive against Tipp City’s very good striker and forwards, but our attack did suffer, since we only had five shots and four of them we on frame.
“I thought this was a mental win for us, because Tipp was blowing a lot of teams out. To hold them to a few goals was great for us.”
