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.
Despite no state tournament, Sullivan won its fourth-straight IHSA Class 1A golf regional Oct. 6 at the Moweaqua Golf Course.
The Redskins’ low score of 330 took the regional title, and Monticello’s team score of 334 earned second place. Read More

The Sullivan boys’ golf checked off one of the team’s goals for this season by winning the Central Illinois Conference meet for the fourth year in a row.
“We went into the tournament knowing we could score really well there,” said Sullivan coach Ben Richter. “We shot a 145 earlier this year and that really boosted our confidence in playing at Mowequa. For the most part we had a solid front nine but fell off a bit on the back with a few scores in the mid 40s.”
The Redskins swept the first five spots to earn CIC all-conference honors and combine for a team score of 317.
Drew Rogers was medalist with the low score of 76.
Logan Westjohn shot a 78 for second place, and Camden Dwyer carded an 80 for third.
