Central boys’ golf team combined for a score of 408 to win the Public League Golf Championship at Cobbs Creek Golf Course on Friday. Masterman finished second with a 414.

As for individual champions, there was a three-way tie for first between Masterman freshman Mike Fisher, Lincoln freshman Shirley Mai, and junior Richard Beggy of Central. All three tied with a score of 90, resulting in them playing the 18th hole three times to try and break it. That wasn’t the case, though, as they stood tied after the three attempts. So the three were put on the third hole, where Fisher was eliminated. Beggy and Mai moved onto the 4th hole, which Beggy won with a par.

Winning the title is something familiar with first-year head coach Daniel Spivack, who won it as a member of the team back in 2010 and 2011.

“It feels like replaying my time as a player at Central," Spivack said. "It was the same type of team camaraderie with this team. My brother was individual champ when I was in high school. Now it’s great to win as a team and coach an individual champ.”

“It goes back to the beginning of the season," he continued. "We practiced hard and what we worked on in practices held through for the tough shots down the stretch. It came down to the last hole for Richard and he trusted that he could hit that shot and he did.”

Girls’ Tennis

Central’s Kate Hamilton and Shari Zeng beat Anna Leventhal and Virginia Yu of Masterman, 7-5, 6-3 to win the Public League doubles championship. Both teams will advance to play in the District 12 championship on Oct. 23 at Legacy Tennis Center.
