FRANKLIN – The Warsaw boys golf team continues to prove it’s among the state’s elite.

The No. 2 Tigers turned in an impressive second-place finish Saturday in the Spring Preview at The Legends Golf Club.

Top-ranked Columbus North, for the second time this season, edged out Warsaw for the team championship in the 24-team field which featured nine ranked teams.

Sensational sophomore Jonny Hollar turned in an outstanding effort Saturday to lead coach Ben Barkey’s Warsaw squad. Hollar, one of three returning players from last year’s team that tied for sixth place at State, shot a 71 to finish in second place. Hollar’s excellent round on the course which will host the State Finals June 11-12 included two penalty strokes.

Senior Jon Schram was right behind Hollar for the Tigers. The Ball State University recruit fired a round of 72 to earn third place honors among individuals.
