SOUTHEAST’S SPLENDED MEDALISTS

Player of the Year honors and medalist at the conference tournament are outstanding accomplishments for any high-school golfer.

For the Southeast Pirates boys and girls teams, the accomplishments were two-fold following the Portage Trail Conference Tournament.

Both James Morgan, a sophomore, and Taylor Blazek, a junior, were at the top of the leaderboard for the conference tournament for the boys and girls, respectively, at Sable Creek Golf Course in Hartville.

Morgan tied the record, a 1-under-par 71, set by two Rootstown Rovers, Laszlo May (2016) and Nevada Lemon (2010). With that 71, Morgan also earned Player of the Year honors.

Blazek fired a 76, easily setting a new record for the tournament owned by Skylar Werhey of Southeast and Leah Starcher of Lake Center Christian. Blazek also earned Player of the Year honors.
