⛳️🏆 EVERY STROKE MATTERS.

Orange Boys Golf and NDCL Boys Golf captured Division II sectional championships Tuesday, while Gilmour Academy, Perry and West Geauga also punched their tickets to districts.

And some of the margins were razor thin.

🔥 Kirtland missed a team district berth by ONE stroke — despite finishing only five shots behind the sectional champion.

🔥 Fairview also missed the final qualifying spot by ONE stroke.

🔥 West Geauga’s Dylan Phillips fired a 73 to earn medalist honors and help the Wolverines advance by that single stroke.

🔥 Kirtland’s Nick Nead and Edgewood’s Jackson Heinbaugh both shot 81, forcing a playoff for the final individual berth. Heinbaugh won the playoff hole.

Also advancing individually: Beachwood’s Liav Perez, Kirtland’s Johnny Scalish, Fairview’s Maxx Sather and Chagrin Falls’ Peter Fischer.

Charlie Thomas, Caighe Cochran and Phillips talked about the pressure, preparation and why every shot — and every teammate — mattered.
