On the strength of a second place finish at Thursday’s Eastern Cincinnati Conference Tournament, the Milford High School boys golf team has won its third straight overall conference championship. The ECC Championship is determined by a combination of team’s finish in the ECC Preseason and Postseason Tournaments as well as victories in head-to-head dual meets against conference opponents. The Eagles won the preseason tourney and finished unbeaten in head-to-head duals during the regular season.
Senior Nathan Arnold had a great day on the Glenview Golf Course links, winning ECC Tournament medalist honors for the second straight year with a tournament-best rounds of 75. Arnold’s round was three strokes better than his nearest competitor. Sophomore Justin Horn earned a top-10 finish, tying for ninth with an 81, one stroke better than his senior teammate Aaron Wade.
Kings ended Thursday as the team tournament champions as they placed four golfers in the top-12 to nip the Eagles by three shots (320-323).
The Eagles will look to keep the momentum going when they return to Glenview next Wednesday (Oct. 4) to compete in the OHSAA Sectionals.
