WWS Boys Golf Takes 2nd in Regional

The Wheaton Warrenville South boys golf team took second in regionals, two strokes behind the No. 1 team, Hinsdale Central.

The Wheaton Warrenville South boys golf team took second in regionals yesterday, Tuesday, Oct. 5 with two strokes more than Hinsdale Central, who won the regional title with a total of 317. 

The top three teams qualified for sectionals. Glenbard West qualified for the first time since 2007 by placing third.

Wheaton Warrenville South's Tee-K Kelly earned medalist honors for the tournament after defeating Lyons Township's TJ Silvey in a one-hole playoff. Both golfers finished with 75s after 18 holes.

"He (Kelly) had a fine day," said Tigers coach Jimmy Selleck. "We were ready for today, with great conditions (for) playing golf. We got out there and got after it. We would have liked to have finished a little better, but the main thing is that we're alive. The strong survive and we're strong enough today. We're hoping to continue the trend and get better."

Max Channon helped the Tigers' cause by shooting an 80. Jason Plepel and Thomas Jaeschke each fired 82s, while Kyle Gallagher (85) and Nick Popejoy (94) rounded out the lineup.

Now, Selleck and the Tigers turn their attention to Monday's sectional, which Selleck says will be comparable to playing in the state tourney.

"I've heard some refer to that as the state tournament," he said. "The competition will be very high. We look forward to that, and we'll continue to practice and get better, and work toward our goal of getting down to state."

The Red Devils had solid performances throughout their lineup, as Kyle Jeske carded a team-best 77, followed by Trevor Jay (79), Harry Boling (80), Jeff Yoo (81), David Whinery (82) and Jarrett Kreger (83).

Wheaton North failed to qualify as a team, but the Falcons will be represented at next week's sectional by three golfers. Adam Onorato qualified with an 83, while Andrew Shadid and Sam Otto punched their tickets to sectionals by each carding 84s.
