Golf

Butler 151,

Troy 157

VANDALIA — In matchup of two of the top three teams in the MVL, Vandalia-Butler and Troy did not disappoint on the front nine at Cassel Hills.

The two teams battled back and forth before Butler emerged with a 151-157 victory.

The Aviators’ Cooper Decker was medalist with a 34 and Seth Jones closed his day with a hole-in-one on his final hole.

“What are you going to do about that?,” Troy coach Mark Evilsizor said. “What a great match. It was back and forth the whole match. We had an early lead. What it came down to was they were just better around the greens than we were. They putted better than we did.”

Bryce Massingill, John Kneisley and Brayden Schwartz all carded 39s for Troy.

Mitchell Sargent had a 40, Mason Weaver carded a 42 and Luke Huber added a 43.

“When all six guys shoot 43 or lower, you can’t complain,” Evilsizor said. “That was good day for Bryce (Massingill). John (Kneisley) continues to play well for us. That was a bounce back for Brayden (Schwartz), who had a rough week last week. This doesn’t leave us any margin for error in the MVL now, but that is the way it should be.”

Troy will play Northmont at Meadowbrook Golf Course Thursday.
