Althoff Catholic senior Parker Bruening had the hot round shooting a 4-under par 68 to win medalist honors Monday afternoon at Belk Park Golf Course in Wood River.
But some great play from Metro-East Lutheran’s Suhre brothers as well as an ever-par round from senior Gavin White earned the Knights their first ever Gateway Metro Conference title.
Junior Ryan Suhre shot a 3-under par 69 while his brother Drew shot an 80. White shot an even-par 72 which was enough for a medal.
MEL scored 307 to take home first place, just ahead of Father McGivney Catholic’s 312.
The Griffins were led by senior Joey Hyten’s 2-under par 70. Junior Drew Kleinheider (78) and senior Riley Knobeloch (80) also earned top-10 medals.
Althoff and Marquette Catholic both fired a team score of 317, but the Crusaders won the tiebreaker thanks to Bruening’s low score.
Sophomore Carson Jones led the Explorers shooting even par while senior Mike Wilson (80) and sophomore Andrew Belden (82) also contributed.
Rounding out the field were Maryville Christian (413) and Christ Our Rock Lutheran (426).
