May 23—HENRYVILLE — Borden won its first Southern Athletic Conference title Saturday.

The Braves carded a collective 335 at Champions Pointe Golf Club. Henryville, which had won the team championship in 15 of the previous 16 years, was second with a 361. Lanesville (417) took third and South Central (503) fourth while New Washington fielded an incomplete team.

Hornets senior Westin Allen earned medalist honors with a 2-under-par 70. He shot a 2-over 38 on the front nine and a 4-under 32 on the back. His round included five birdies, 11 pars, one bogey and one double-bogey.

Borden's A.J. Agnew was second with a 74 while Henryville's Sam Davidson and Borden's Branson Wagoner tied for third with 79 each.

"As much as I like to win, I'm happy for (Borden) coach (Duane) Potts and his group. They've put in a lot of work over the past few years and shot their best score of the season today," Henryville coach Robin Embry said. "We've struggled the entire year to get four good scores. Westin has been playing great the past couple of weeks and put on a clinic today on the back nine. Sam played really well and knows he can go even lower. Trenton (Vires) had a rough front nine, then played well on the back. Caleb (Harter) struggled most of the day, but he kept a good attitude and kept trying."
