Pair of Beaver Valley golfers punch ticket to states at WPIAL 2A championships
Two Beaver Valley golfers survived golf's toughest test at Oakmont Country Club at the WPIAL 2A championships to advance to the state tournament.
Oakmont Country Club hosted the WPIAL 2A golf championships on Tuesday, Oct. 6. Eleven golfers from Beaver Valley fielded a strong showing, with Matt Prince of OLSH and Joseph Kamnikar of Quaker Valley leading the pack. The course proved to be a formidable challenge, as Prince described it as firm, fast, and difficult. Prince played a solid round, finishing with an 84 (+13) and securing his place in the PIAA state championships for the first time.
Kamnikar, the leading golfer heading into the day, faced challenges throughout his round but managed to find his footing and finish tied for 13th, also qualifying for the state championships. Tyler Holsinger of Riverside, who finished 19th, also had the opportunity to qualify for the state championships but fell short in a playoff hole.
The 2A WPIAL golf championships concluded with the state qualifiers set to compete at Penn State University's Blue Course starting October 19.
