ARCANUM — Sidney finished first in the Miami Valley League tournament on Saturday at Beechwood Golf Course and finishes second overall in final standings among 10 MVL teams.

The Yellow Jackets finished with a 348 team score and edged runner-up Tippecanoe by one stroke and third-place Troy by three strokes.

Trey Werntz led Sidney with an 83 and finished third overall individually. Kaden Abbott shot 85, Ben Spangler shot 88 and Mitch Larger shot 90.

“I am so happy for these boys,” Sidney coach Bill Rippey said. “We were a little down this week, but they promised they would get back on track and they did. Beechwood was playing tough today, but the kids came up big.”

Final standings are determined by regular season and conference tournament play. Tippecanoe was undefeated in regular season, finishes first among all MVL teams and also wins the Miami Division.

Sidney won the MVL Valley Division. The Yellow Jackets and Stebbins were tied for first with 6-3 records heading into Saturday’s tournament. Sidney’s higher place in the tournament secured the division title; Stebbins finished sixth in the tournament.

“We were just thinking about beating Stebbins and Xenia for our division championship,” Rippey said. “So when the scores started to come in, the boys told me that we were in the lead. I didn’t think we had a chance to beat Tipp. Tipp hadn’t lost at all this season, but today was Sidney’s day and we finally beat them.”

Werntz was named first team all-MVL. Abbott, Spangler and Larger all were named second team.

Werntz, Spangler, Larger, Brandan Rose and Darius Boeke are seniors.

“This was so special for all five of the seniors,” Rippey said. “(They) have endured up and downs for the past few years and this is was a great way to go out.”

Rippey is hopeful the program’s success will continue in future years. The school’s JV squad was edged by Jackson Center’s varsity on Friday.

“I am really proud of my JV team and I hope they continue to put in the effort and share the same success as the varsity team experienced today,” Rippey said.

It’s the second MVL Valley Division title of the fall sports season for Sidney. The school’s girls tennis team secured the Valley Division title in the league tournament last week.

Sidney, Stebbins, Fairborn, Xenia and West Carrollton make up the Valley Division. Tipp, Piqua, Troy, Vandalia-Butler and Greenville are in the Miami Division.
