  by Everlet. Normal Uhi's Dawson Freeman felt he had to go big
• 0:23
  for the win Monday at the 2026 Ottawa Pirate Invitational. As it
• 0:28
  turned out, he didn't, but Freeman got the win anyway, with a
• 0:31
  final hole Eagle that lifted the Pioneers Junior to the individual championship,
• 0:36
  while he and his Pioneers teammates took the team title at Deer
• 0:39
  Park Golf Club in Oglesby. I actually thought I had to Eagle,
• 0:44
  Freeman said, but it turns out Ottawa's Briar Harris and a couple
• 0:48
  other people in the running for Metalistener's Bogade, so I only needed
• 0:52
  to birdie, but I played it really aggressive, gave myself a good
• 0:56
  look for Eagle and just drained it. Led by Freeman's Medalist winning
• 1:00
  one under par 69, Yuhai with a team 287 won the title
• 1:05
  of the 16-team event over Runner-Up St. Vieter 300, and the tied
• 1:10
  for third host Pirates, 307, and Cantalan Knights, 307. Minuoka, 315,
• 1:16
  and Hall, 315 tied for 6th. Sycamore, 318 was 8th. LaSalle, Peru,
• 1:23
  324, was 9th. Streeter, 329, tied for 11th, and Morris, 330, tied
• 1:29
  for 13th. As for the individual leaderboard, Ottawa's Harris and Uhai's Michael
• 1:34
  Acheltree. Both seniors. Finished tied for runner up honors two strokes behind
• 1:39
  Freeman with one over seventy one S. Harris, Harris led Freeman by
• 1:43
  a single stroke heading into number eighteen. I I played all right,
• 1:47
  Harris said. Deer Park's usually easier than this. It played hard it
• 1:51
  was windy. The greens were firm, but I hit around the course
• 1:55
  well. Hopefully it'll play better for regionals. It was nice to see
• 1:59
  how we stack up against the other teams we know we'll see
• 2:02
  later, especially since the Class Two of Ottawa Regional on september thirtieth
• 2:07
  will be here. Cannilan's low round was put in by senior Carson
• 2:11
  Iwanski, who placed fourth individually with his two over par 72. I'm
• 2:16
  really happy with my performance today, Yawansky said. I've played pretty rough
• 2:21
  all season, so I'm excited to get a nice fourth place finish.
• 2:24
  I probably hit sixteen out of eighteen greens and most of the
• 2:28
  fairways. I was pretty dialed in with my irons and finishing with
• 2:31
  a nice two put. Yuhai Jr. Jack Quinn, Morris Jr. Braden Wickazer,
• 2:36
  and Hall senior Noah Plym finished in a three way tie for
• 2:40
  fifth all carding seventy three s. My driver was working really well,
• 2:44
  Plyn said. Last year here, I struggled a lot just getting off
• 2:47
  the T. It put me in bad positions. Today it was just
• 2:50
  a fairway every time. A good place to make some birdies and
• 2:53
  some pars. Obviously you want to try to come out and win
• 2:57
  every time. That's usually my mindset, but fifth's not too bad. St.
• 3:02
  Viator Jr. Drew Battaglia, Uhy Jr. Aidan Triese, and Streeter Sr. Brennan
• 3:08
  Stilwell rounded out the top ten of the 96-man field, each shooting
• 3:11
  a four over par 74. Ottawa Sr. Logan Cottingham and Sycamore Sr.
• 3:17
  Andrew Swedberg just missed the top ten, both shooting 75S as part
• 3:22
  of a five man tie for eleventh. Behind Harris and Cottingham for
• 3:26
  Ottawa, Bodie Martin's seventy nine and James Threadgill's eighty two rounded out
• 3:31
  the team scorecard. Cannolan's team score behind Owanski included Joe DiGuglielmo, 76,
