Community League Recap Event 5

The Community League's July Match Play Tournament completed its first week with two very close matches and one where both teams went low with stellar efforts by individuals on both teams.  The LaMar Brothers, Gary and Terry, had to use the tiebreaker and go back to the seventh hole before getting past the team of Noah Miller and Galen Lengacher.  Each fired net 68's in their round this past week.  Clint Knepp and Rob Graber survived their match by a single stroke, 66 to 67, in a match that went into the last hole all square.  The match between the Noah Callahan-Paul Hart team and the Tim Sanders-Chris Jones team saw new lows by both Noah Callahan and Chris Jones and stellar scoring by all involved.  Noah got his first par round at Lakeview while Chris Jones had his best ever round, a 39, a score which gave him a super low net of 24.  That propelled him and Sanders past Callahan and Hart, subbing for Jeremy Wildman, by a score of 55 to 59.  In other matches, Ken and Sharon Frye advanced when their opponents, Allen Yoder and Jon Kemp, were unable to get their round in.  Larry Wininger and Mike Bird beat Short Jeffers and Dave Wininger, subbing for Shirley Jeffers, by a score of 71 to 75.  Dale Yoder and Richard Yoder beat Ken Wagler and Jeremy Graber by seven strokes, 65 to 72.  Ryan Graber and Michael Graber, subbing for Stan Graber, had a four stroke win over Billy Trabant and Duane Wagler, 72-76.  The team of Emanuel Wagler and Adrian Graber, the leader of the regular season standings, had a bye to the second week's action. 

In the standings at the end of the week, Noah Callahan jumped into first place with his even par round and the earning of 52 points.  He is 29 points up on second place Emanuel Wagler with 212 points for the season.  Emanuel Wagler and Adrian Graber continue at the top in the team standings although their lead has shrunk to three points.  Their season total of 96 tops Noah Callahan and Jeremy Wildman in second at 93, and the team of Clint Knepp and Rob Graber in third at 83 points.  Low net score for the week was Chris Jones' 24.  Noah's 35 was the low gross while the 55 posted by Chris Jones and Tim Sanders was the low net team score.  The group average for the week was 42.18, down from 43.04 of a week ago.
