MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. – Monroe Central’s girls and Caldwell’s boys prevailed Wednesday at the MOVL Golf championships at the sun-soaked Moundsville Country Club. The Seminoles won the 4-team female division, while the Redskins topped the 6-team boys field.

The Seminoles carded a 4-player total of 440 to Shadyside’s 451. River (481) and Bridgeport (551) rounded out the team scoring.

Renee Williams led Monroe Central with a 108, which was one stroke better than Graycee Huntsman. Reese Binegar finished at 11 and Rachael Kroll 112. The fifth member was Kenadie Loch.

“This was a little unexpected,” Monroe Central head coach Stephanie Highman said. “I only have two returning players, so it was a good effort all around today.

“This gives us hopes for a sectional title.”

Caldwell’s Cameron Sidwell was the medalist with a 79. He was the lone player to break 80 on the par-70 layout. Jayce Miller was next at 86, followed by Gentry Brown (92) and Talon Bettinger (92). Non-scoring players were Jax Secrest and Remy Secrest.

“This is only our second year as a program. We were decent and competitive last year, but we’ve made a big jump this year,” Caldwell head coach Charlie Laswell. “I expected us to compete well this year. Was this expected? No. I did expect us to do well. I’m pumped for the kids.”

The Tigers’ Brandon O’Grady was second at 82.
