Jays among area golf teams advancing to sectionals

WILLARD - The Jefferson City Jays may have finished fourth Monday in the team standings at the Class 4 District 5 Golf Tournament, but they're moving on to the sectional.

Four Jays finished among the top 15 individuals not on the top two team finishers, so Jefferson City will have enough players to post a team score at the upcoming sectional tournament.

Gabe Trowbridge led the way for Jefferson City, posting an 84 to finish 11th overall. Jays teammates David Anderson and Andrew Hansen were one shot back to tie for 12th with 85s, while Brennan Horn tied for 21st with a 91.

Matt Echelmeier of Rock Bridge was the medalist with a 74, two shots better than teammate Jake Knoesel.

The sectional tournament will be played at Eagle Knoll.

Rock Bridge took team honors at 311, while Rolla claimed the other sectional team spot with a 330. Willard was third at 333.
