POMEROY — The final scoring round of play for 2007 in the Tri-County Junior Golf Tour decided all age group champs as the young players toured the Pine Hills course in Pomeroy.

Again, it was close competition, but no play-off will be necessary to decide bracket top spots. However, several deadlocks resulted in second and third places.

Only two players competed in the 15-17 age group as Will Garrison of Point Pleasant fired a three-over 37 for low round of the day to nail down first place. David Greene of Mason fashioned a 46 for the runner-up Fruth Trophy and pulled into a tie with Chris Long for second overall.

In the 13-14 bracket, Nick Saunders of Gallipolis carved out a nice 39 to capture the Fruth Pharmacy first place weekly award and solidified his hold on the overall crown. Close behind at 41, Opie Lucas of Point Pleasant snared runner-up honors and also earned second overall. Steven Theiss of Gallipolis carded 47 for third and earned third overall, while Montana Wamsley of Point recorded 50 and David Michael of Crown City collected a 52.

The large group of 11-12 year olds produced exciting competition. Robert Canaday from Gallipolis fired 45 to earn the weekly first place Fruth trophy, barely one stroke ahead of runner-up Gus Slone of Gallipolis at 46. Close behind for third spot came Eric Allbright of Point Pleasant at 48, while Jacob Leach from Cheshire, Brady Curry and Bryce Saxon of Gallipolis also posted a 50 each for a three-way tie at fourth. Just behind the leaders came Wyatt Wamsley of Point, Denver Thomas of Leon, Jarod Martin from Gallipolis and Griffen Stanley of Gallipolis.

In the keenly contested bracket, Allbright earned championship honors with 28 points, just ahead of Curry at 26, while Slone, Saxon and Canaday tied for third.

Five players competed in the 10-and-under category where Dares Hamid earned the Fruth first place trophy on a good 42, while Jacob Hoback of Meigs was second with 50. The final three of Ryan Schenkelberg of Meigs, Tare Hamid of Gallipolis and Jonah Hoback of Meigs tied for third on identical scores of 58.

In the overall bracket race, Hamid was winner on 30 points, while Schenkelberg and Hoback tied for second, plus a tie for third found Massile and T. Hamid deadlocked.

For the young ladies, Morgan Nottingham of Mason won the weekly Fruth trophy on 53. Libby Leach of Cheshire posted 56 for runner-up, just one stroke back at 57 came Kelsey Allbright of Point Pleasant for third, just one stroke ahead of Caroline Thompson from Mason in fourth, plus Shiloh Wamsley of Point close behind the leaders.

In the final overall bracket standings, Allbright won first place honors, Leach was second while Nottingham and Miriam Gordon tied for third.
