The Olentangy Orange and Olentangy Liberty boys golf teams finished first and second, respectively, at Wednesday’s fourth and final OCC-Central match of the season, splitting the conference championship in the process.

All five of Orange’s golfers were in the 70s, led by Mitch Purdue’s 75. Other scorers included Luke Johnson (76), Nathan Brown (76), and Corbin Bentley (78). Jonathan Green, the Pioneers’ fifth man, shot a 79.

Liberty got four scores in the 70s as well, with Grant Smeltzer’s 75 leading the way. Andrew Blosser (77), Jack O’Donnell (78) and Ben Armbruster (78) also chipped in.

BOYS SOCCER

Ben Daily put Buckeye Valley on top 1-0 less than a minute into the game, but visiting Grandview scored the next four straight to take control on the way to a 7-2 MSL win Wednesday night in Delaware.

Four different Bobcats scored before the Barons’ A.J. Nicolosi found the back of the net to make it a 4-2 game in the 32nd minute.

Grandview’s Connor Hayes opened the second half with his second goal of the game, though, all but sealing the deal.

Treyden Williams, one of three BV goalies to see action, had a team-best six saves in the setback.
