NWC tournament

HARROD — The 2025 NWC tournament was held at the Colonial Golfers Club on Thursday and Lincolnview emerged as the tournament champions and outright conference champions, thanks to a first place finish during the regular season. The Lancers finished with a tournament score of 340, one stroke ahead of Allen East. Due to a clerical error, it was originally thought Allen East had won by a single stroke, and it was first thought Allen East and Lincolnview would share the title. The Mustangs finished second with a 340 while Columbus Grove finished third with a 341, followed by Crestview (347), Bluffton (349), Lima Central Catholic (378) and Delphos Jefferson (388). 

Crestview’s Mathew Dealey was the match medalist with a 76. He was followed by teammates Logan Schlemmer (87), Kash Lichtensteiger (91) and Chase Feasby (93). The Lancers were led by Seth Brant, who shot an 82. Jacob Geier finished with an 83, followed by Chase Overholt (87) and Lucas Grubb (88).

Dealey was named Player of the Year and first team all-NWC, while Schlemmer was named second team all-NWC. Brant was named first team all-NWC, while Geier (second team), Bailey (second team), Overholt (honorable mention) and Holden Price (honorable mention) also earned all-NWC accolades.
