Ottawa finishes 8th at Class 2A State Boys Golf Finals, Drake Kaufman places 11th. Lemont earns 4th-place mark; Crystal Lake Central gathers 5th place

Lincoln-Way Central's Juney Bai capped his high school career in fine fashion by taking third at the Class 3A State Golf Meet on Saturday.

Batavia junior Gavin Newkirk, who tied for the low round at Monday's Class 3A Glenbard West Sectional and lost a playoff for medalist honors to settle for second place, is headed to state as Batavia's first state qualifier since 2014. He'll be joined by area golfers Austin Frick of Geneva, Mason Siegfried of St. Charles North and Gavin Hjelle of Oswego East.
