The 2024 Southwestern Conference Boys Golf Tournament Championship will take place Thursday (September 19) at Grey Hawk Golf Club in LaGrange. The end of season tournament features groups starting off the front and back nine and begins at 8:30 a.m. It will help determine the overall team champion, which is decided by a team’s standing in the 18-hole preview (20%), regular season (20%), mid-season tournament (30%) and 18-hole championship (30%).
The race for the overall SWC title is mostly between Amherst Steele High School and Avon High School. The Eagles enter with 29 points and a .5-point advantage after placing first at the preview, winning the mid-season tournament (Midview Invitational) and tying for third in the regular season with a 5-2 record. The Comets, who finished second at the preview and placed runner-up at the mid-season tournament while tying for first in the regular season with a 6-1 record, have 28.5 points.
Avon Lake High School (21 points) and Berea-Midpark High School (20.5 points) are neck-and-neck for third place. Both would need a lot of help to secure at least a share of the overall championship.
Olmsted Falls High School is currently in fifth place with 19.5 points and will team with Midview High School (18), North Ridgeville (10.5) and Elyria (7) in an attempt to move up the standings with strong play starting on the back nine.
The top six individuals earn All-SWC first team, while the next six golfers earn All-SWC second team in 2024. Those recipients will be announced following the last regular season make-up match between Avon Lake and Elyria on September 23.
