Saegertown junior outlasted Prep sophomore Patrick Kelly by a score of 3 and 1 to claim the 2016 Erie Sport Store Junior Match Play Championship. Peters started posted three birdies on his round including one on 15 when Kelly seemed to be poised to square the match after falling behind by 3 holes but then claiming 13 and 14 to put pressure on Peters. The two traded pars on 16 and then Peters claimed the title when Kelly’s drive on 17 found the left hazard. Peters went wire to wire if there is such a thing in matchplay as he was the number one seed after Monday’s qualifier.

In girls’ competition, Walnut Creek 8th grader Natalie Brosig needed extra holes not only to gain a birth in match play but also in both of her matches. She defeated Villa sophomore and first seeded Kymmy Henry to in 19 holes to reach the final and then bested Fort Leboeuf’s Syd Worley by the same score to claim the title.

The boys B flight and Boys 10 to 12 flight were far less dramatic as Mercyhurst Prep senior Carl Palotas race away with the B flight defeating Iroquois sophomore Justin Bonniger, 8 and 7. Kyle Westfall claimed the youngest boy’s group by way of an 8 and 6 decision over Ryan Fiscus.
