COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Hathaway Brown's girls shot themselves out of sight ahead of the pack and the boys from University School shot themselves into contention Friday during the first 18 holes of the Division II state golf tournament at the Ohio State University courses.
With sophomore Ashley Yarbrough and senior Sydney Kirby shooting seven-over 77s and sophomore Nia Marshall turning in her first round of the season under 80 with a 78, the Blazers blitzed the Gray Course and the field with a team score of 321, a remarkable 22 shots better than Huron and Lima Shawnee, which share second place.
University School, seeking a sixth state title, trails defending champion Dayton Oakwood by two shots after a first-round 333 on the Scarlet Course. Senior Scott Smith paced the Preppers with a seven-over 78.
Par is 70 on the Gray Course and 71 on the Scarlet.
