LAGRANGE - Avon Lake returned to its early-season form at just the right time.
The Shoremen had four scores in the 80s, led by a pair of 82s from juniors Nolan Clancy and Cole Cartwright, to finish third with a 335 at Monday's Division I sectional tournament at Grey Hawk Golf Club.
They were the only Lorain County team to advance to the district tournament.Two area individuals made it - Avon's Hunter McCourt with an 80 and Midview's Bryan Stone, who shot an 81 then birdied the first playoff hole to defeat Bay's Ian Williams for the final qualifying spot.
Stone, a senior who fell one stroke shy of qualifying for district in 2020, was among the first golfers to finish, forcing him to wait to see if his score would hold up.
"It was very stressful watching the leaderboard update and update," Stone said. "To be honest as soon as I got done I thought I had no chance."
Rocky River won the team title with a 328, while Strongsville's Dean Upholzer shot 75 to take individual h onors and lead the Mistangs to second. Westlake also qualified.
