In a year when the Sullivan boys’ golf team has an average team score to compete with nearly every Class 1A team in the state, the IHSA will not be holding a state golf tournament.
“It really is a shame that this group doesn’t get to fight for a state championship because when we play to our ability, we can score very low,” said Sullivan coach Ben Richter.

The Redskins’ low score of 330 took the regional title, and Monticello’s team score of 334 earned second place. Read More
