Golf lands a postseason spot, besting A-B and Boston Latin

With a Sectionals berth on the line, Acton-Carlisle golfers took care of business on September 24, defeating Acton-Boxborough, 229-239, at Quail Ridge to punch their ticket to the postseason. Strong drives consistently left manageable approach shots, giving the Patriots ample opportunities to attack pins, find greens, and put themselves in position to make par.

• Team record: Overall 8-1, Dual County League 7-1
• Big day: Leading the way was Tate Miller, who fired a 2-under-par 33. Ben Brooks closely followed with a 36. 
• Unsung heroes: Co-captain Glen Murdough posted a 38, and Jake Erston delivered a steady 39 to help pace the Patriots past the Revolutionaries.
• Up next: CCHS was to travel to Billerica Country Club to face Billerica on September 29.

With wind gusts turning every shot into a guessing game, the Pats employed strategy and discipline to earn another Dual County League victory on September 23 at the William J. Devine Golf Course in Franklin Park.

• Big day: Jake Jones was low medalist, carding a 1-over round of 35. 
• Unsung hero: Right behind Jones was Brooks, posting a 38.

CCHS 241, Hopkinton 269

In the annual Links for Cancer match on September 22, the Patriots put steady pressure on the visiting Hillers, keeping the ball in the fairway and consistently sinking key putts.

• Unsung heroes: Erston and Murdough finished with rounds of 39.
