Local teams: Bureau Valley, Hall, Putnam County, St. Bede. Other teams: Fieldcrest, Henry, Marquette, Midland, Princeville, Serena, Stark County, Woodland.

At a glance: The Red Devils and Bruins will have all the comforts of home playing on their home course. Hall cousin tandem of sophomore Landen (75.8) and senior Grant Plym (82.8) and St. Bede’s Jake Delaney (75) and Brendan Pillion (75) all advanced to sectionals last year with Delaney making it to state. Hall coach Mason Kimberly said the Red Devils went through a “pretty major slump,” but are finally back at full strength and are looking to play their best golf in the postseason. “The kids are all optimistic for advancing to the sectional at TPC Deere Run, and who knows, anything could happen at an extremely difficult venue like that. But right now the focus is on Wednesday’s regional at our home course, Spring Creek,” he said. It’s the postseason, and St. Bede coach Rich Cummings simply said, “We have to play our best.” ... The Red Devils missed the sectional cut by three strokes and the Bruins by four at the Riverdale Regional last year. ... BV, Hall and St. Bede will all start out on the front 9 and PC on the back 9.
