This week, the Hillsboro Indians boys golf team placed in the Top 5 in the sectional tournament, continuing their season to the Division II SE District tournament.
Finishing in the Top 5 at sectionals, which was held at Shawnee State Park, were Gallia Academy in first with a score of 332, followed by Chesapeake (332), Portsmouth (354), Hillsboro (363) and Jackson (366).

Hillsboro's Austin Bagshaw was medalist with a 72. Other Hillsboro scores included: Alex Vanzant (90), Jacob Deatley (99), Cole Reveal (102) and Travis Wehrung (105).
"For Hillsboro to advance is huge," Hillsboro coach Dan Spidel said. "The team consists of sophomores and freshmen, and they are getting fantastic tournament experience at such a young age.
"The sectional was played in miserable conditions … wet, rainy, cold, windy. For them to keep fighting for 18 holes and advance is just tremendous."

Spidel also spoke about the medalist Bagshaw.
"Austin's round of 72 is the best sectional score Hillsboro has had in a very long time," he said. "For him to shoot that score in such weather really shows how hard he works at his game and how well he is able to stay focused. I couldn't be more proud of him and for the team."
