  rain fell Wednesday at Foxbend course course, the Oswego East boys golf
• 0:24
  team battled the conditions and seven others teams, to shoot a 299
• 0:29
  and take second at its home regional. With the greens flooded, a
• 0:33
  two-put maximum was even implemented as part of modified rules for the
• 0:37
  meet. It was rough going. A Zwego East coach Jim Vera said,
• 0:42
  The course did a great job of getting us to play, and
• 0:45
  then all the coaches were great pulling together and obviously changing some
• 0:49
  things. We kind of had to play today because we really didn't
• 0:52
  have a lot of options after today. It's not supposed to get
• 0:55
  better. Naperville
• 0:57
  North 293, finished six shots ahead of the Wolves to win the
• 1:01
  Class III A Oswego East Regional, its first regional title since 2012.
• 1:07
  Wab Bonzi Valley placed third with an even 300. Naperville North Coach
• 1:12
  Ryan Hantack echoed Vera's assessment of the meat's conditions. It was brutal,
• 1:17
  Hontek said. Regionals are already stressful enough, but to go and play
• 1:21
  in these conditions and make a rule change like we had to,
• 1:24
  it was very stressful. Still the golfers persevered. Naperville Central senior Graeme
• 1:30
  Kavanaugh edged Oswego East Duncan Kubek for Medalist honors after the two
• 1:34
  tied at 2 under-70. Kavanaugh won the playoff on hole 17, making
• 1:39
  parr while Kubek bogeyed to claim the individual regional title. Kubek was
• 1:44
  one of three top ten finishers for the Wolves. Mulm tied for
• 1:48
  fourth with a seventy three, and Jack Steele was close behind with
• 1:51
  a seventy for to take sixth. Duncan has been working really hard.
• 1:56
  Hess
• 1:56
  had a really good year for us, Vera said. Now he hit
• 1:59
  a rough patch kinda towards the end, but he really came back
• 2:03
  strong. I'm really happy for him, especially as a senior and what
• 2:06
  he went through last year. Sanjil Shresla and Hayden Hess had matching
• 2:10
  score of 82 tied for 34th to round out the Wolves scorecard.
• 2:15
  Naperville North, Oswego East, and Wabinsee Valley will advance to Monday's O'Fallon
• 2:21
  sectional at Stonewolf Golf Club in Fairview Heights. Naperville Central narrowly missed
• 2:26
  a team berth after tying Wabonzi Valley at 300. The teams went
• 2:30
  to a tiebreaker, with the latter advancing after its fifth score of
• 2:34
  77 to beat Naperville Central 78. The Huskies will instead send Kavanaugh,
• 2:40
  Owen Mack and Tyler Sweda as individuals. Very happy with everything and
• 2:45
  how it went, Kavanaugh said. Just kind of a sad way for
• 2:49
  the team to finished the year, but we'll move on as individuals.
• 2:51
  And have a good time. Other individual qualifiers included Oswego's Charlie Cooney,
• 2:57
  Carter Anderson, Jack Sbaker and Chase Nutson, Yorkville's Charlie Rolfe and Noah
• 3:02
  Peterson and Nuka Valley's Matthew Jacobson. Recently crowned Southwest Prairie Conference champion
• 3:08
  Oswego took fifth in the meet with a 305. Yorkville followed with
• 3:13
  a 310 for sixth. Nuqua Valley 312 finished seventh and Bolingbrook 335
