19. nick DUDUKOVICHTHE COMMUNITY PRESS KENWOOD Coming off the second-lowest Cincinnati East sectional score ever with four Crusaders at 291, Moeller golf coach Rick Bohne hoped to duplicate the effort at Ohio State's Scarlet course. In high school golf, it's all about peaking at the right time. "I think the last couple of weeks of the regular season and certainly the sectional and districts was some of the best golf we played," Bohne said. "They don't hand out any awards in August." In 26 years of coaching, Bohne has been to the state tournament 16 times now.

That's three individuals and 13 teams. "Funny thing is, you remember the ones that were close," Bohne said. "They still bug me." This year's squad was led by senior Andrew Benza, a first-team Greater Catholic League-South selection. "He tied for medal in the sectional and was tied for second in the district," Bohne said. Just behind Benza has been fellow senior Matthew Wetherill and another senior Mason Eck-ley.

"Those two kids (Benza and Wetherill) have been our anchors all year," Bohne said. "We've had other guys play well. Mason Eck-ley is our most experienced. He was at state two years ago with that team." As Eckley can attest to, the Jack Nicklaus-designed course can be a bear. Along with bunkers, crooks, crannies and creeks, Mother Nature also comes into play.

Mount Notre Dame's Macenzie Reed (19) battles for control of the ball against Indian Hill's Elyse Ruppert (7) in the first half Oct. 16 in the Southwest District tournament. MND won the game 7-1, ending Indian Hill's season at 3-8. JOSEPH FUQUA llTHE COMMUNITY PRESS Nights beat Georgetown, 10-0 in Division III sectional play Oct. 17.

Volleyball CCD beat Gamble, 25-16, 25-12, 25-9 in D-III sectional play Oct. 15. On Oct. 20, CCD prevailed in straight sets over Lockland 25-16, 25-16, 25-10. Junior outside hitter Kat Mapes led with 16 kills.

Junior setter Elizabeth Weisenf elder chipped in with six service aces. CCD played Seven Hills Oct. 22 after deadline and would play Oct. 27 at 2 p.m. in Troy, if victorious.

Golf Moeller finished seventh in the state tournament Oct. 19-20. Matthew Wetherill tied for 12th at 161, Andrew Benza tied for 27th at 165 and Quinn Sullivan tied for 38th at 168. going in to be Dublin Jerome, the defending champ, Dublin Coff-man, New Albany and the local Mason Comets. He was correct on three of those as Jerome won the title again, with Coffman third and New Albany fourth.

Many good schools don't even make it. St. Xavier wasn't in, nor was Cleveland St. Ignatius. Again, it's when schools peak, according to Bohne.

"The two best teams this year that won probably 90 percent of the tournaments we played in were Upper Arlington and Picke-rington North and neither one of them made it," he said. He has seen players go both ways over the years, but never tires of the experience in Columbus. "It never gets old for me," Bohne said. "It plays different, according to the weather conditions," Bohne said. "It's hard to begin with.

You've got to have the ideal day. They put the pins in tough spots. You have to put it center of the green most of the time." With two left-handers on the team, Evan Probst and Quinn Sullivan, Bohne had hoped to solve any angle by weather or by course design. At the end of day one Oct. 19, Moeller was fourth.

Senior Wetherill shot 79, sophomore Sullivan had an 80, senior Benza 81, and senior Probst 82. However, senior Eckley faltered with a 92. Oct. 20 didn't go any better for the Crusaders with some wind and light rain. Their combined score was 335, compared to 322 on day one.
